How to make
Pick ripe but healthy figs. Peel them and drop them in limewater for 30 minutes. Then wash and drain them well. Prepare a runny syrup by boiling sugar, water and 1/2 of the citric acid.
Add figs and once the syrup thickens, add the rest of the acid. Remove the jam from ripe figs from the heat and flavour it with vanilla.
Leave for 4-5 hours so that the figs soak well. Pour them into jars, close them and sterilize for 10 minutes.
