Fig Jam

I've never used figs before, but I was very impressed with the jam from these.  They were black figs, about 2 pints, and made the best pink delicate jam!

Fig Jam from here
1-1/2 lb (2 pints) ripe, black figs, roughly chopped
1/4 c lemon juice
1/2 t lemon rind
1/4 c H2O
1/2 box Sure-Jell (powdered pectin)
3-1/2 c sugar

Stir everything except the sugar together and heat to a hard boil, stirring.  Add the sugar, stirring, to a rolling boil.  Boil hard one minute while stirring.  Cool 5 minutes, skimming as necessary.  Fill approximately 6 half-pint jars with jam leaving 1/4 inch headspace.  Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
