- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp water
- 2 tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
- Cut stems off tops of figs and then chop figs into ½” pieces.
- Using a large nonstick saucepan, add figs and sugar; toss until well combined.
- Let mixture sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, water and ground cardamom; stir until well combined.
- Place saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring often.
- Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring often to keep jam from scorching. (Tip: If needed, add a bit of water to prevent jam from scorching.)

- {Optional} For a smoother jam, use an immersion blender to blend jam while it is still warm.
- Once cool, spoon jam into airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
