To check if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate. If it holds its shape and is thick enough for your liking, it’s done. If not, continue to cook for a few more minutes and test again.
- While the jam is cooking, sterilize your jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Let them dry on a clean towel.
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth, then seal with the lids.
- To ensure a proper seal, process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove the jars and let them cool completely.
- Once cooled, check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If it doesn’t pop back, the jar is sealed. Store your sugar-free fig jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Once opened, keep refrigerated and use within a few weeks.
