Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh figs stems trimmed off, cut in half
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest from one lemon
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary to taste
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Place the figs in the food processor and pulse about 10 times or until the figs are minced into very small pieces.
  • Place the minced figs, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary sprigs, honey, sugar, and water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring well to dissolve the sugar and honey. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the jam simmer for about 15 minutes or until it is thick. Stir the jam frequently so it doesn't stick or burn.
  • Remove the rosemary sprigs and ladle the jam into small 4-8 ounce jars. Place the lid on top of each jar and let them cool.
  • Refrigerate the jam for up to four weeks, or freeze it for up to six months.
