1. Add figs and sugar to a deep pan and set on the stovetop. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. let it boil for 5 minutes.
2. Turn the heat to medium-low and keep cooking the jam while stirring frequently. It might take anywhere between 15 to 30 minutes for your fruit to soften and for the jam to start to thicken (depending on how juicy the fruit was to begin with).
3. When the fruit is soft use a potato masher to mash the fruit as much as you'd like. Add the juice of half a lemon right into the jam. Then add 4-6 lemon seeds to the jam (they have natural pectin in them and will help to thicken the jam). Stir and cook 5-10 more minutes or until the jam reaches your desired thickness.
4. To process your jam in a waterbath canner fill the canner with enough water to cover the jars by at least an inch. Set the caner on the stovetop and bring the water to a rolling boil.

Spiced Fig Jam Recipe for Canning The Wimpy Vegetarian

4. Bring the mixture to the boil and cook rapidly for 15 - 20 minutes or until the fruit is soft and setting point is reached. For the first 10 minutes, only ocassional stirring is needed. The final 5 - 10 minutes, however, will require stirring every couple of minutes to prevent the fruit from hardening onto the bottom of the pot. Set point is typically reached 8˚F higher than the boiling temperature. At sea level, boiling point is reached around 212˚F, so set temperature should be around 220˚F. If you live in high altitudes like I do part of the year, the boiling point lowers 1˚F for every 500 feet above sea level. I find this is more art than science, however, and recommend you not scrupulously follow the gauge of a thermometer. A better way is either to dip a large metal spoon into the boiling jam, and raise it. If two drops coming off of it come together to form a single drop or stream of jam, it's ready.
