Recipe View Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Properly sealed jars can be stored for up to 1 year.

For a smoother preserve, you can use an immersion blender to slightly puree the fig mixture before canning.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the figs and your personal preference. You can start with slightly less sugar and add more to taste before canning.
If you don't have strawberry gelatin, you can substitute it with another complementary fruit flavor like raspberry or cherry. Be sure to use the same amount (6 ounces total).
Always ensure the jars are properly sealed before storing to prevent spoilage. If a jar doesn't seal, refrigerate the preserve and use it within a few weeks.
