Steps:
- To make fig preserves, start by slicing the stems off of the figs and give the figs a rinse. Add the figs to a stock pot and add the sugar. Mash the sugar and figs together. Add the water, lemon juice, ginger, and salt and stir to combine.
- Over medium heat bring to a simmer. Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to simmer for two hours, stirring constantly. Cover but leave the lid cracked for evaporation during cooking.
- The last half hour while the figs cook boil enough water to sanitize five 1/2 pint (8 oz.) mason jars, lids, and rings. When the jars are prepared, allow to cool enough for handling - add your cooked fig preserves, filling to the top. Add the lid and ring and close tightly. Add the filled jars back to the water bath and process for 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely. Be sure to tighten lids after cooling as they tend to loosen during the cool down.
- Refrigerate the preserves after they've cooled completely. Enjoy the preserves as a spread, a topping, or use it as a filling for pocket pies.

SOUTHERN FIG PRESERVES
Another of grandma's specialty jams; she got this from a childhood friend of hers. If you're familiar with jam making, these instructions will probably be very clear to you. But for me--I'd need a book like "Preserving for Dummies":) I wonder if there is a book like that, and if there is, let me know!!!! *Again, I'm estimating that prep time and cooking time are both the same--I'm not sure and the recipe doesn't say, so if you know, note me with times and I'll post them.*

Steps:
- Combine the whole figs, sugar, and lemon juice in a large saucepan.
- Cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the juice is as thick as desired (Grandma uses a candy thermometer and stops at the soft-ball stage).
- Pour the mixture into hot, sterilized canning jars, cap, and store.
- *Can also be used in homemade jam cakes.

FIG PRESERVES
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.
STRAWBERRY FIG PRESERVES
Everyone thinks these are strawberry preserves. No one has a clue they are made with figs! You can even use different flavors of gelatin like peach or raspberry. Since this recipe makes so little, you could skip the hot water bath and refrigerate the jars of preserves.

Steps:
- Mix figs and sugar together in a large saucepan, place over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved. Mix in strawberry gelatin; bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 7 minutes. Mash preserves with a potato masher if desired.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the fig preserves into the hot, sterilized jars, 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 and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 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.

OLD FASHIONED SOUTHERN STYLE FIG PRESERVES
An heirloom recipe handed down from my great aunt Corinne from Ozark, AL (1905-1997).

Steps:
- Try to select figs of equal ripeness. Wash.
- Cut stems a wee bit around, do not expose inside of figs. If extra ripe, don't worry, just get stem.
- Sugar is measure for measure but I like it rounded for figs. So not quite equal measure.
- Put sugar over figs (and lemon slices). Cover. Put aside until morning. (If you cook right away keep your heat low to begin with.) (Water added here.) Water different for juice. I'd say if over night, it will turn into juice so you won't add much then. If cooking right away, try 1/4 measured to fig measure. I like to have juice to cover figs in jars. Left over juice can be used for another cooking of figs.
- Cook slowly. Makes better figs & syrup. Might be longer cooking. You judge by your syrup thickness. Keep boiling gently. Your bubbles will show a good syrup. Little water can be added if juice gets low. Sometimes 2 or so hours. Try a fig.
- Put in jars but don't seal. Place in hot water bath. Cook until sealed. Will Pop.
