      Title: Simple Homemade Fig Preserves
 Categories: Jams
      Yield: 2 Cups
 
      2 lb Ripe figs; tough stems
           -removed
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
      6 tb Fresh lemon juice
      1 tb Water; up to 2 tb; if needed
 
  Stir together the figs, sugar and juice in a medium saucepan. Bring
  to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. If the figs are not
  fully ripe and the mixture is dry, add a little water, as needed.
  Reduce the heat and simmer until the figs collapse into a soft,
  thickened stew, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The
  preserves should fall off the spoon in thick, heavy drops.
  
  Pour into one 1-pint jar or two 1-cup jars that have been sterilized
  in boiling water. Close with tight-fitting lids and let stand
  undisturbed until the preserves cool to room temperature. Store in
  the refrigerator for up to three months.
