This easy fig jam recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and made with just five simple ingredients. It's the perfect addition to a cheese plate, baked goods, oatmeal, toast and so much more!
Add chipped figs to saucepan with maple syrup, water and lemon juice.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is soft and a jam-like consistency is achieved, about 20 minutes. You want the liquid to run off a spoon in thick drops. If needed, return to the heat for a few more minutes.
Spoon the jam into an airtight container (like a mason jar), leaving a little space at the top. Close the jars loosely and let cool completely. Once cooled, tighten the lid (the lid can get stuck if you tighten while hot) and store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
