Baking in the oven ensures an intense aroma and rich texture, while sparing you the hassle of lengthy stirring at the stove. This method is ideal if you want to make the most of seasonal figs and, with minimal effort, delight your guests with a genuine homemade treat that will enhance any breakfast or cheese platter.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients for Oven-Baked Fig Jam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 kg fresh figs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>400 g sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 lemon (juice and zest)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">1First, wash the figs and remove the stems. Then cut them into small pieces. If the figs are very ripe, you can just chop them coarsely.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">2Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C and prepare a baking pan with high sides or a glass baking dish that is deep enough to prevent the juices from boiling over the edge.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">3In a large bowl, mix together the chopped figs, sugar, juice and zest of one lemon, and vanilla extract (or the contents of one vanilla bean). If desired, add cinnamon for extra flavor. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">4Pour the fig mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 45\u201360 minutes. Stir occasionally while baking so that the sugar dissolves evenly.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">5The jam is ready when it becomes thick, dark, and sticky, and the figs are completely soft. If you want an even smoother texture, you can gently mash it with a fork at this point. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"dropcapp4 wp-block-paragraph\">6Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the jam cool slightly. While it&#8217;s still hot, pour it into sterilized jars, seal them tightly, and turn them upside down for a few minutes. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for Making the Perfect Oven-Baked Fig Jam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 For the best flavor, use fully ripe, soft figs\u2014the riper they are, the less sugar you&#8217;ll need.<br\/>\u2022 For a crunchy touch, you can stir in coarsely chopped walnuts or almonds toward the end of baking.<br\/>\u2022 For a more grown-up version, add a spoonful of rum or balsamic vinegar.<br\/>\u2022 The jam will thicken further as it cools, so be careful not to let it dry out in the oven.<br\/>\u2022 Warm the jars in the oven before filling them so they don&#8217;t crack when they come into contact with the hot jam.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-znam-si wp-block-embed-znam-si\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"cQtow26e44\"><a href=\"https:\/\/znam.si\/en\/darila-iz-narave\/mazila-tinkture-in-caji\/bay-leaf-solution-for-sore-joints-and-bones-a-traditional-homemade-remedy-for-natural-relief-and-detoxification\/\">Lovorova raztopina za bole\u010de sklepe in kosti \u2013 tradicionalni doma\u010di pripravek za naravno razbremenitev in \u010di\u0161\u010denje telesa<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cLovorova raztopina za bole\u010de sklepe in kosti \u2013 tradicionalni doma\u010di pripravek za naravno razbremenitev in \u010di\u0161\u010denje telesa\u201d \u2014 Znam.si\" src=\"https:\/\/znam.si\/en\/darila-iz-narave\/mazila-tinkture-in-caji\/bay-leaf-solution-for-sore-joints-and-bones-a-traditional-homemade-remedy-for-natural-relief-and-detoxification\/embed\/#?secret=L8azRNWb7n#?secret=cQtow26e44\" data-secret=\"cQtow26e44\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I need to peel the figs?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, there&#8217;s no need to peel them. Fig skins are thin and edible; they soften during baking and add a nice color and texture to the jam. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long does jam last?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If stored properly in sterilized jars in a cool, dark place, it will keep for up to one year. Once opened, store it in the refrigerator. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should I serve with it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fig jam is incredibly versatile. It\u2019s delicious on fresh bread with butter, and it pairs especially well with cheese (goat cheese, Brie, Parmesan) or as a topping for Greek yogurt. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49  <strong>Do you often feel bloated and have sluggish digestion after eating large meals and sweet snacks?
