FIG (FRUIT) PRESERVE

Steps:
- Pick fresh figs. Figs are ready to eat when they are brown. I picked both figs that were brown and ready to use right away and some that were half green and half brown since I have get my figs from someone else. Figs are very sticky so bring some wipes with you if you are at a location with no water, like I was.
- Prepare jelly glasses and lids for canning
- Sort out your figs.
- Wash your very sticky figs and cut off ends and put them in the pot. I am not sure if you need to cut the bottom, I just do. Make sure you use a big pot. I make sure I use one that has twice the space. Make sure you leave enough room so you can smash your fruit with a potato masher and not burn your hands from the fig lava.
- In covered saucepan, cook fruit and lemon juice over medium to high heat until fruit is soft and boiling
- Smash figs with potato masher until desired consistancy. I like mine slightly chunky.
- Stir in pectin and heat to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Add 1 small box of strawberry jello, boil and stir 1 minute
- Remove from heat; immediately skim off foam.
- Fill glasses, seal (10 minute water canning bath) and store...or you can store covered in the refrigerator no longer than 2 months.
- Enjoy!

REAL FIG PRESERVES
Figs are naturally sweet and very flavorful, however, the taste should not be bland. It's okay to spice it up a little.

Steps:
- Dissolve the baking soda in about 2 quarts of cool water, and immerse the figs in the treated water in a large bowl. Gently stir to wash the figs, then drain off the water and rinse the figs thoroughly with fresh cool water. Place the figs into a large pot. Add 1 cup water, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, lemon, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Very gently stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar, keeping the figs intact as much as possible.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the figs are golden brown and coated in syrup, about 1 hour. Stir gently a couple of times to keep the figs from burning onto the bottom of the pot. Add a pinch of salt, if desired, to tame the sweetness.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the figs into the hot, sterilized jars and top off with syrup, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area, and wait at least 2 days before opening.

Steps:
- Place the orange zest and orange juice in a medium (10-inch) heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Add the sugar, vanilla bean, and figs to the pot. Cover and bring to a full boil over medium heat. (Don't worry; it may look dry.) Stir the mixture and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Lower the heat, and cook uncovered at a full simmer for 50 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the little bubbles to be throughout the pot, not just at the edges. After 45 minutes, refrigerate a small amount of the liquid to see if it becomes syrupy. It should be like a soft fruit preserve. Keep cooking just until the liquid starts to gel when cold. If the liquid is too firm, add a little orange juice or water, cook for a minute, and test it again until it's right. Depending on how ripe the figs are, they will probably keep their shape, but it's fine if they don't. Discard the vanilla bean and serve or refrigerate.
