How to make
Wash the figs, peel them and cover them with water, add the citric acid (pour enough water to cover the figs). Leave them for ten minutes. Then let them drain.
For the syrup: Pour the sugar into a pot, add 200 ml of water and boil over moderate heat. When it thickens (but not too much), add the figs and cook until the fig jam has the consistency of honey.
Before the end of cooking, add vanilla sugar and half a lemon, cut into slices. Let the fruit jam boil for another 5 minutes.
Pour the hot jam into washed and sterilized jars and close them. Turn the jars with the lids upside down (for 10 minutes and flip them over to their original position) and store them in a dark place.
