Shanna's Fig Jelly

• 1 kg. of figs
• 750 gm. of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of all spice
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• juice of ½ a lemon
• handful of chopped lemon rind

Weigh the figs after topping and cleaning the bottoms. Determine the proportional amount of sugar required.

Mash or cut figs into chunks, choose how chunky you want your jam to be.

Add spices, lemon juice and rind. Cover with sugar and allow to sit for 2 hours.

Slowly bring the mixture to the boil over 15-20 minutes. Slowly boil for 1 hour. Cool and slowly boil for 15 minutes the next day. Cool.

Pour into air tight container that has been scorched with boiling water. Refrigerate.

For variations add freshly roasted or dry fried almonds.
