Another recipe from The Weekly Times, but approx times are given as I have not yet made this recipe. I suppose its up to what size jars you use as to what quantity you get.

DIRECTIONS
- Put a small plate that in the freezer for later use.
- Wipe the figs, cut off their tops and cut into small pieces.
- Put the figs into a medium sized saucepan with water, lemon juice, almonds and ginger.
- Bring to the boil and turn down heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for about 20 minutes or until figs are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the warmed sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring to the boil and then simmer, gently, for about 10 minutes.
- Test the jam on a cold plate that has been in the freezer, putting a little jam on the plate and returning it to the freezer for a couple of minutes.
- Take the plate out and if jam wrinkles when pushed with a finger it is ready.
- Take the jam off the heat and leave for two minutes.
- Put into sterilised jars and seal immediately.
