Instructions:

• You’ll need:
• 4 cups cut up figs
• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• Juice of 1/2 a large lemon
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 cinnamon stick
• 1 star anise 
• 2 whole cloves
• In a medium saucepan add the sliced figs and sugar, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, bring the figs and all the juice they released to a boil
• Add the salt, lemon juice, ground cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick and whole cloves.
• Once it boils, using a potato masher, mush the softened figs until you reach your desired jam consistency.
• Lower heat and let the jam simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and drops heavily from the spoon. 
• Transfer it to clean sanitized jars and do not put the lids on until the jam has totally cooled off and Voila!
• Bon Appétit!
