Canning My First Fig Jam.


This is just a short post on canning homemade jam.

Over a three day period, I collected three pounds of figs from my tree in our back yard. I love figs, so I decided to try making some homemade fig jam. Of all the canning that I have done, I think this was the easiest to do correctly.

I used the recipe "How To Make Homemade Fig Jam - Easily!" which I found at PickYourOwn.org.



When I was through, I had seven half-pints of delicious fig jam, plus a little more that went into the refrigerator!

The fig tree still has dozens of figs in various stages of development, so I will surely be making more, and if I get enough figs before the ants do, I'll make fig preserves.

That's all for now. It was a short post, wasn't it?

I would like to wish my mom a Happy Birthday today as she turns 89 years young. She still has her own vegetable and flower garden, and she is active in her gardening club.

Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!

I hope everyone is having a great gardening day!

  4. your mom sounds awesome! I'm jealous of your canning fun. I'm dying to have a fig tree but have no room for even a small tree. Well, I have room, but no room in a sunny spot.
