Fig Jam Instructions

Place the figs, monkfruit, honey, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-high, stirring until the monkfruit dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the jam cool completely before transferring it into airtight jars or containers.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

Use ripe figs for the sweetest, most flavorful jam. Underripe figs may result in a less sweet spread.
For a vegan version, substitute maple syrup or agave for honey.
If the jam is too runny after cooling, return to the pot and simmer longer until thickened.
