Fig and apple jam is a sweet and tangy jam with bright, crisp apples and subtly sweet figs. Perfect with toast or slathered on a cheese-loaded crostini.

I spent the day with a couple of lifelong dear friends last weekend, which was good for the soul. My friend Molly has an amazing fig tree in her yard, and gave me several figs to take home with me. After eating some raw with a smorgasbord meal, I decided to make a family favorite–jam! I made it extra special by adding a Honeycrisp apple, which gave it great flavor & texture. The jam was easy to make and turned out sweet, tart, and filled with delicious apple bits and jammy figs. This easy homemade fig and apple jam tasted especially tasty on a crispy crostini slathered with gooey brie and a dollop of this jam. SO GOOD!

½ lb fresh figs, stemmed and diced
1 large Honeycrisp apple, peeled and diced
2-3 tbsp sugar, to taste
3 tbsp apple juice (or water)
1 tbsp honey

How to Make a Fig and Apple Jam

In a nonreactive large saucepan, add the figs, apple, sugar, apple juice, honey, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the fig pieces, until the fruit is jammy, about 25-30 minutes.

Spoon the jam into a glass jar, leaving ¼-inch of space at the top. Cool to room temperature.

Seal the jar with an airtight lid and store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Enjoy.
