Ingredients

Servings: 4

3 Lemons, including 1 organic lemon
1 kg ripe figs
400 g Sugar
100 ml Limoncello (Italian lime liqueur)

Directions

1
Wash organic lemon hot, rub dry, grate peel thinly. Peel all lemons so that the white skin is completely removed. Remove the fillets with a sharp knife between the parting skins.
2
Squeeze the juice out of the separating skins and collect it. Cut the lemon fillets into small pieces.
3
Clean, wash and chop the figs. Mix sugar, figs, lemon peel and lemon juice and leave to stand for about 1 hour.
4
Simmer the fig mixture in a saucepan for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the lemons about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Briefly "puree" the figs. Test the gelling. When the jam has gelled, add limoncello and let it simmer again for another 10 minutes.
5
Pour the jam into clean hot rinsed sealable jars. Close the jars tightly immediately, turn them upside down for about 10 minutes, then turn them over and let them cool down.
