This is one of DH's favorite preserves. The recipe came from his grandmother. Prep and cook times are approximate. I'm not sure of the yield, so I'm guessing.

2 pints (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the figs, sugar and jell-o in a dutch oven.
  2. 2
    Bring to a slow boil over medium to medium-high heat.
  3. 3
    Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Stir constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
  5. 5
    Put in sterlized jars and seal.

    I took Stephies advice and made this recipe today using raspberry jello and it is awesome. It does taste exactly like the filling from a rasp donut. I could have licked the spoon, and the pan that is how good it is. I did not think I would like it much because figs are not one of my favorites. I will make this for years to come. This recipe made 5 1/2 8oz jars. I took the 1/2 jar to my friends house and she can not wait to make some herself. Thanks for this delicious recipe!!!

    EXCELLENT! I use only 1 1/2 cups sugar when I make these. The end product with raspberry jello tastes like the filling of a jelly donut!
