Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, gently mash the blueberries with a fork. Transfer the mashed blueberries to a 3 1/2-quart saucepan. Add the quartered figs, sugar, water, lime juice, and balsamic vinegar. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Using an immersion blender, lightly pulse the mixture until it is mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for a delightful textural contrast. (2 minutes)

03

Step
25 mins

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring periodically to prevent sticking, until the jam has thickened. This will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes. (25 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

To check for doneness, place a small spoonful of jam onto a plate that has been chilled in the freezer. Let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes. If the jam appears to gel and wrinkle when pushed, it is ready. If it still appears thin and runny, continue cooking for a few more minutes and test again. (2 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Once the jam has reached the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully pour the warm jam into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the jam to cool completely at room temperature before sealing the jar and refrigerating. The jam will continue to thicken as it cools.

For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar.
A splash of orange liqueur can add a sophisticated touch to the jam.
Be sure to sterilize your jars properly before filling them with jam to ensure a longer shelf life.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the figs and blueberries.
