I have mentioned there are no figs in our area, but if there was, I would be making this. I bought a jar of FROG Jam and it sure is good! I knew I would never be able to make it, but searched out a recipe anyway! There doesn't seem to be many out there to choose from. Maybe some of you are lucky enough to have figs in your area~
Off to work..thankful for a job but sure don't like working weekends! Linda
F.R.O.G. JAM
From Uncle Phaedrus
Fig, Raspberry, Orange, Ginger (FROG)
Several weeks ago my daughter in law called asking if I had the recipe for frog jam I had
to reply no. She had bought a jar in a gourmet shop and thought it was delicious. She shared figs from her trees with me and yesterday was my test day. The jam turned out wonderful, hope
you enjoy it.
3 oranges juiced
2 (3 oz.) packages raspberry gelatin
4 cups mashed ripe figs
4 cups sugar
4 tablespoons orange zest (3 oranges)
4 tablespoons fresh ginger finely chopped (food processor)
In large sauce pan add orange juice and gelatin stir until dissolved add chopped figs,
sugar, orange zest, and ginger let come to a boil on medium heat, reduce down to low,
stirring often as it will burn. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes continue stirring. Mixture will
become thicker. Pour into sterilized jars: seal. Place in canner fill with water process
