Fig Jam!!

Please forgive my lack of LJ cuts!

I made Fig Jam on Sunday.

This is what 9 pounds of figs looks like



I started in my tamale pot - because there was so much, it had to cook a long time and the bottom of the pot burned.


Since I didn't want the burn smell to go into the figs I switched it all to one of Marcel's pots (and hoped I didnt' burn the bottom of it). 



BTW Just so you know:  Figs + Sugar + Stove on Med/Hi = Edible Napalm!
(so I had to use a splatter guard)



Sanitizing some of the jars and lids.



Sierra helped me jar up the hot fig stuff.....



Getting ready to process the first batch...
