Raspberry Adds Extra Flavor to Taste of Figs

“Many people do not have the taste for plain fresh figs, so this flavor is enjoyable,” Emiline A. Wilucky writes.

RASPBERRY FIG JAM

2 cups mashed peeled figs

1 cup sugar

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 (3-ounce) package raspberry gelatin

Combine figs with sugar, lemon juice and gelatin in saucepan. Stir to blend. Bring to boil, then simmer about 20 minutes or until thickened like jam, stirring occasionally. Makes about 1 1/3 cups.

Note: A mixture of figs and crushed pineapple to equal 2 cups can be used if desired.
