I am a canner. Using fresh lemons may be okay for a quick consumption refrigerator jam. BUT, in order to SAFELY water bath can shelf stable jam, you need to use bottled lemon juice. Each fresh lemon has a different acidity and PH. You may not have enough acidity and PH in your fresh lemon to prevent botulism. Bottled lemon juice (like the ReaLemon brand) has the appropriate acidity and PH. Without this acidity and PH you need to pressure can the jam to make it a SAFE shelf stable product. In my opinion pressure canned jam doesn’t turn out the same as the water bath canned jam. With that said I’m so happy that you have so many wonderful figs. Your finished jam looked delicious.
Great info
And using the amount called for in the recipe is equally important. But of course, if you're just storing for a short time in the fridge as Janey plans to, or making freezer jam, it's not critical.
@@MyFocusVaries I agree with you. It’s a great point that she needed the entire 6 TBS of lemon juice to can it. I sometimes make freezer or fridge jam because you can fudge a little.
Your figs look so delicious! And fig jam also 😀
Unfortunately for me here in Florida zone 9B fig season is over now.
Thanks for sharing this good advice. I had no idea.
Fig Bread is delicious and freezes too, I like to toast the fig bread and put butter on it.
When it comes to poms, blocky walls are a must, and the flower end will start to curl inward when they are at their peak of sweetness.
I like to leave them on the tree as long as possible. They keep better on the tree - at least until it rains.
Enjoy harvest season!
Your girls are so precious and I enjoyed seeing the joy on their faces when they ate the jam. ❤ IT must of been good Janey because it was kid approved! Thanks again for sharing and I always learn so much!!! ❤❤❤
Yummy jam! So nice to harvest your own figs and make something out of it,
Here’s a thought. Just close your eyes for a second, now picture yourself in the garden in the South of France. You’ve just picked some figs. Put them on your table on the deck and assemble some cheese and a baguette. Voila, a meal!!! Enjoy 😊
Even the North half of France! We live about 16 miles south of Paris and my in-laws have a Fig Tree. It is productive and we eat them off the tree. But much better with some Wine and Cheese and Bread, maybe some apples and grapes!! YUM!
Oh my, that sound so yummy! 🇨🇦
Great video.. Pomegranate jelly is wonderful.. I am in the same zone as you and pomegranate are harvested in October before the first rains.
Fresh figs stuffed with a little goat cheese, wrapped with prosciutto, warmed on the grill. 😘
OMG! Yum!
I have had fig trees for Years. Ants love figs and there is a little hole at the base of the fig. I always open the fig from that hole before eating.
You’ll have to try some fig bars 😋 The amount of fruit you have growing in your orchard is amazing. Thank you for sharing !
Hey Janey ❤
The jam looks delicious 😋 and I’m sure your cute girls enjoyed 💕
Tips for next batch: 1- cut smaller for faster cooking. 2- Adjust sugar based on your first trial. 3- wait till completely cooled off before putting in jars, this will keep the jam from the condensation and extra moisture, because the moisture content ruins jams. Will stay good longer in the fridge.
Love you all!
I ❤ Pomegranates! Several houses in my childhood neighborhood had them. That was Southern California San Gabriel Valley (east of L.A.).
How lucky you are to have an orchard. There’s nothing that compares to tree ripened fruit. Your girls are adorable.
What a fun video! Janey you should try a fig and prosciutto pizza. Sooooo good. Cutie patooties there at the end. I hope they have the best school year yet. 💝
I’m laughing because when you told your Alexa to set a timer for 15 minutes my Alexa set a timer! Enjoying watching you make your jam.
Ha! Funny!!
That’s hysterical!!! Oh my gosh!!
My recipe came from a 94 year old lady and it was her mother's recipe; so well over 100 years old. 4 cups figs (cut in pieces), 3 cups sugar, 2 cups raisins, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 3 or 4 slices of lemon (remove seeds and puree in blender). I sometimes use Real Lemon juice instead. In a large pot add figs, sugar, raisins and lemon. Boil until real thick, stirring constantly. Add nuts last. With jars and lids hot, fill and seal as usual; then turn upside down for several minutes. This will help the jars seal. Makes 5 - 6 1/2 pints.
I am so proud of you Janey! Please share when you and your Mom can together!! Your girls are so precious!!
I was happy to see you roll your lemon before you juiced it.
I also put my citrus in the microwave for 10 seconds and then roll it and then juice it!
Have ever tried freezer jam. I used to do that with raspberries. It’s so easy
I make freezer jam from the figs that hang over our fence, stores up to a year in the freezer and a couple months in the frigate after I take them from the freezer. I use the food processor to rough purée the figs for a smoother consistency. Great on a cheese platter.
🥹 this brought me so many childhood memories of my grandma who passed away. We had figs, apricot, pomegranate trees and she would make jam out of the figs and apricots.maybe when you learn to can you can gift those during the holidays. Love it for charcuterie boards! And yes you did set my timer for 15 mins 🤣
Great recipe I'll try with my figs soon just finishing picking peaches in the north west
My daughters mother in law makes strawberry freezer jam. My husband trades her crappie fish for it. Yes My husband has always fished. We call it strawberry heaven. It's so delicious. It stays good in the freezer for quite along time
❤❤❤❤❤ Your fig jam looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us. Yummy❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Strawberry freezer jam is the best! Cooking it takes away so much of the flavour!
Great video! Would love a video on fig tree pruning when it’s the season for that.
Oh my word, I wanted to eat some of those figs so bad! Excellent looking jam Janey! Loved seeing the girls at the end! 🇨🇦😋👏
How fun to make some jam from your garden 🥰✨
Dang!!!! That fig jam on that ice-cream looked delicious Janey!! Thx for sharing the recipe. 💕
Oh, Janey...you are so quintessential California cool.
(Edited to respell a wrong auto correct --what's up with auto misspellings these days?)
I have found that if you microwave citrus for 20 to 25 seconds it creates twice as much juice. It really works.
Did anybody else Alexa set a timer for 15 min while watching this video? Just me? Ok. BTW Janey, I grew up in Cali and we never ate the skin. I was surprised to see you not scoop out the fig from the skin. Learn something new every day!!
Beautiful garden! I love to have fig jam with brie cheese ❤
You should use your tape measure to know what a half inch looks like. LOL 😂
Heck yea ice cream and fig jam that’s my jam … never thought of jam over ice cream yummy . My second season for my turkey fig zone 6b don’t think ill ever see my tree that large lol it has to come inside in winter, but my figs tase delicious I’ve had four and four more ripe im giving to a friend but many more yet to ripen. So satisfying to see the tree produce its fruit. Make more jam your family is going to eat it up in a day or two from them look on their faces (what beauties those daughters love their smiles and giggles.) loved this video . Wow what an orchard.
My mouth is watering!!
What I like to eat with fig jam is toast a bagel smear cream cheese on the bagel then add fig jam to it . Yummy
Also thumb print cookies with fig jam.
Also look up canning information from your county/ state agriculture schools. We use Va Tech😊
The ending was absolutely adorable!!! Yummy!!
I live in Minnesota not a lot of figs around here after seeing this I’m craving fig jam and ice cream. Need to find me some figs. Thanks awesome video.
I always heat my jars in the oven at 200 degrees them spoon the hot jam into the hot jars. The sealing lids are in boiling water. I seal them and the lid snaps down as it cools. The jam lasts a year on the shelf.
fig jam on ice cream?! How come I never thought of that!!
That looked so delicious. 😋
Hi Jenny the jam looks delicious and your girls are so sweet ❤️
Pomegrantes shoud be ready in the end of September
I have two different pomegranate trees, one sweet and one more tart, but they both ripen I’m saying mid October November is when May have always ripen and I live in Riverside California
Yummy! My favorite. 😍
I have made that jam before...so good..like candy!
How fantastic is that. I am sure it's delicious! Bless those cherubs

Wonder Pomegranate. Usually ripe late October to early November. Roseville CA. 9b
I can never make jam because I eat all my figs as soon as they are ripe. They are the best fruit!
Where has Jason been??
Miss seeing him and you working together!
Hi Janey & girls!
I was going to suggest that it would have been good to have Robbie along making his bread to go with the jam but daughters laughing is even better!
Janey,
I couldn't find the video for Dawson's self water system in your video. I don't know whether l didn't use it correctly or you didn't post it. Let me know please? The fig jam looked good and your garden is fantastic. Thanks for sharing ❤ pat
Yum

Well good morning JANEY and girls. Thank you for this sweet beautiful video. The girls are so sweet looks good to me. I love fresh figs. Haven't had Since I was a little girl. Good job have a great BLESSED day the oklahoma GARDNER 😊
Janey please buy a plastic cutting board, bacteria can harbor in wooden cutting boards. Great video on how to make fig butter, please do more cooking videos.
I only use wooden cutting board for cutting bread and like items.
I've used wooden cutting boards for years
Studies show the opposite, wood cutting boards are good.
Micro plastics using plastic cutting boards,
Looks delicious 🥰
Yes, you did set an Alexa timer at my house. LOL! 😂
I keep expecting you will train up your vines and roses onto the structures you have put in for them! I enjoyed watching you make jam….
Jam look yummy❣️
Love this video! You turned on my Alexa for the timer! Lol.
Amanda in Salem MA
Wow! This is awesome ! So great to have all these fruit trees ! How do you keep the birds from eating the figs off the tree before you can pick them ?
Yes, my Alexa recognized your voice.
Did you leave the skins on or take them out? Looks yummy 😋
Haha… u set my Alexa.
I am on a hazelnut cinnamon kick!
Where do you get your Pumpkin spice or do you make your own?
Would love to grow a fig tree. How did you tell that your figs were ripe? It seemed some you picked had some green color so is color not an indicator of fig ripeness?
The joy of harvesting your own figs and turning them into delicious jam is simply delightful. It’s the kind of simple pleasure that makes life so sweet. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
When you told Alexa to set the timer My Alexa
Set a timer for 15 min
Janey is the skin on a fig similar to apple skin?
Did you weight your bowl first to see how much it weighs
🤤
You set my Alexa alarm 😊❤
❤😋🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
True confession…I’m not familiar with figs. Please describe the taste.
Why don't you take a "Google Lens photo" to determine the type of pomegranates growing in your garden. Then you would be able to accurately research when they should be harvested and how the fruit tree should be maintained.
Janey… Google how Martha Stewart gets fruit out of Pomegranates…I always use her method
