If you like fig jam and wonder if you should peel them when you are going to make jam with them, we will try to answer this question in the following advice.
- Actually, if we have to be honest, everyone has their taste and preferences and there are different fronts with different opinions. Some say you should peel figs for jam, others say you shouldn't. Experienced gardeners who grow fig trees and make jam every year share that smaller figs should not be peeled, while larger ones should. For large figs, gardeners recommend leaving them briefly in slaked lime water. According to some gardeners, they should stay for 10 minutes, while others say that they should stay longer in the slaked lime water. In this way, the figs acquired more crunch;
- Some people say that they blanch only the white figs and put in the black ones unpeeled, for the simple reason that if they remove the skin from the so-called black figs, there is almost nothing left of them;
- Other people say that they do not peel the figs for jam, but put a small piece of walnut and do not constantly stir the jam so that the walnuts do not fall.;
