Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil. (10 minutes)

Carefully lower the filled jars into the boiling water using a jar lifter, ensuring there is at least 1 inch of water covering the tops of the jars. (5 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View
Bring the water back to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
13 Step

15 Step
Recipe View
As the jars cool, you will hear a popping sound as the lids seal. After they are completely cool, check the seal by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, it is sealed properly. (2 hours)
16 Step
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.
