Fig jam!

I think this type of ingredient applies to fruit without acidity. That is why a little acid is placed in the preparation.

For other small fruits that are acidic, only the rest should be added.

This is very tasty.

Ohh so that explains the lemon. Then i guess the same thing would apply to berries if they wwre made into jams?

There are no berries in my country. I couldn't tell you how to make the jam. I think the principle would be the same.

Oohh i thought there would be berries there too. Maybe when the berry import come, I'll try making ham with it using this recipe

Well, I wish you much success with your ham and the recipe.

Now that you ask ... I really don't know what it tastes like. I can say that it has a smooth texture, with explosive aggregates when chewing, because the seeds are tiny and crunchy. It is very sweet, so you should not add too much sugar. The lemon juice gives it a certain very pleasant acidity so as not to make so much sweetness disgusting.

The recipe works with small and sweet fruits.

I wonder if you like the seeds in the marmalade because they are crunchy why not in combination with cake or cookies? Cookies are crunchy and there are several cake recipes where seeds are added to it.

Personally, I am not a fan of sweet neither are my children. The reason why most of the marmalade and syrup are still there. ☹

Everything is a matter of taste. The sensation of fig seeds in a cookie is pleasant for me. But the feeling of the seeds in a soft and very soft cake and finding it filled like sand, I don't like it. I prefer to add walnuts, almonds, and other larger seeds to my cake. If my son and I visited you we would help you finish all that jam. Hee hee

Pity I can't give the jam and marmalade and syrup to you. I bought some almonds. Very expensive but they were tasty.

The seeds or nuts here in my country are very expensive. I will try to buy a hundred grams of walnuts and some dried fruit for this Christmas.

So are they here. It's the first time in my life I bought almonds. Pity I couldn't just buy 5 or so. 100 grams is aboutb3-4 euros.

Yes, it is similar to the price here. they are 3 or 4 $ the cost of 100 grams.

Totally according to @ gertu13, the fig jam and any other that is made, without chemical preservatives must be stored in the refrigerator so that it does not damage, previously the containers where the jam is to be placed, also the jam must be sterilized It can be eaten with bread, cookies ...

Sorry, but that does not make sense. My granny, her mother, and great grandmother already made jams, marmalades, applesauce, syrups, fruit in jars and it was never with chemicals. Only sugar and if it comes to some fruits you need an acid which is lemon. They didn't use chemicals, had no fridge. Food only gets spoiled if your jars are not clean and the lid doesn't close well (that's why you fill them with hot stuff although it's not necessary if you make pickles, sauerkraut et cetera. I have my food stored in jars here and some are years old still good. Had from a friend marmalade over 12 years old (cherries) still good. If I buy applesauce in the supermarket the only ingredients are: apples, sugar and lemon. 🤔

When cooking, place all the ingredients on the stove.

The temperature here is very hot. If you do not have chemical preservatives, it is better to store in the refrigerator, since the heat is responsible for damaging even if they are vacuum sealed. Although I will tell you that I did not try to keep the jam on the shelf, but I do not want to take the risk, everything is very expensive and if it is not favorable, I lose everything.

I have taken the fig juice and it is pleasant, because I strain it and the seeds are removed. But I have not made cake or jelly with figs. I would have to remove the seeds in the gelatin, because it would be unpleasant to find seeds for me.

Perhaps it depends on a max of temperature it is stored. I learned light is the main problem although the food isn't spoiled or taste bad it just looks different (color change). My jars and bottle stay in the dark. I have no fridge and the temp here is around 34°C outside if not more. Inside I don't know.

The environmental temperature has dropped in these days due to the presence of storms. We have temperatures of 32 ° c. But that is not normal these days. For these months the temperature is much higher. We got to have 37 ° c and more. The heat together with our humidity allows mold to grow in food and animals in the grains. I usually keep all grains in the fridge. Along with other vegetables and tubers.

You need a huge fridge for it. Even with a temp of over 40°C my house will never be warmer than 20°C it so. I do wrap or save food in plastic bags or containers because if the humid air. The house is old and mold is for sure in it. Ventilating and heating up is the only way.
