Fig Jam (sugarless)



Yep I've been jammin again:)
 I mentioned quite some time ago that we have a big old fig tree on the empty block behind our house. Benny's mum said that the owners of the block are happy for us to have whatever we can get to before the birds so I went over and picked a bag full a few evenings ago.
It was a wild and windy night, not the kind of night one would expect in the middle of Summer but nice all the same 
 The figs are in abundance, the birds  have yet to find the fruity feast. Benny's mum said she never managed to get many figs when she lived here. What luck I have, I guess these figs just wanted to become jam
 I loosely followed this sugarless fig jam recipe (honey sweetened)

I also made fig muffins using our favourite muffin recipe
