Instructions

In a large pot, combine figs, raspberries, orange, ginger, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in pectin and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Add sugar all at once and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil and boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims and seal with lids.
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes or allow to cool and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks if not canning.

Notes

FROG stands for Figs, Raspberries, Oranges, and Ginger.
Use dried figs if fresh are not available; rehydrate in warm water before chopping.
This jam pairs wonderfully with goat cheese, brie, or cream cheese.
For a smoother texture, blend the fruit mixture before adding pectin.
