Apulian Fig Jam

“Just ripe figs, and the time it takes to become jam.”

Apulian fig jam, made from figs picked at full ripeness, with lemon, vanilla and cinnamon. No preservatives.

Ripe Apulian figs No preservatives Lemon, vanilla and cinnamon

Fig jam is one of the best-loved preserves of Apulian tradition: sweet, amber in colour, with a lightly tangy taste. We make it with figs picked at full ripeness, a little lemon, vanilla and cinnamon, and a little sugar — no preservatives.

The result is a jam that suits many uses in the kitchen: from breakfast to tarts, right through to pairing with mature cheeses.

The right word

Jam or marmalade?

In Italian we often call this marmellata di fichi, because that's how people usually say it. Strictly speaking, though, the correct word is confettura (jam): European rules reserve the word «marmellata» (marmalade) for products made from citrus fruit alone. Made with any other fruit, figs included, it's a jam — much like in English, where marmalade is used only for citrus, and jam covers everything else.

The homemade recipe

How to make fig jam at home

If you'd like to try making it yourself, here's the basic method.

1
The figs
Wash and peel 1 kg of ripe figs, cut them into pieces and place them in a large pot.
2
Sugar and lemon
Add 500 g of sugar and the juice of one lemon. Mix well and let it rest for about an hour.
3
Cooking
Cook over medium heat for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you reach the desired consistency.
4
The jar
Pour the jam, still hot, into sterilised jars, close them and turn them upside down to create a vacuum seal.

In the bakery

Two variations for a tart

🌰
With walnuts
Add coarsely chopped walnuts on top of the jam, before baking the tart at 180°C for 35-40 minutes.
🧈
With ricotta
Spread a layer of ricotta on the pastry base, before adding the fig jam.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you want to know

Fig jam or fig marmalade?

In everyday Italian it's called marmellata di fichi, and that's fine. Under European rules, though, «marmellata» (marmalade) can only be used for a product made from citrus fruit: so this is a fig jam. It's the same product either way.

What is fig compote?

It's a preserve similar to jam, but with less sugar and larger pieces of fruit, for a more natural taste and a more rustic texture.

What's the difference between jam and compote?

It comes down to sugar and texture: jam has more sugar and is smoother, compote has less sugar and larger pieces of fruit.

Are cooked fig syrup and fig jam the same thing?

No, they're two different products. Cooked fig syrup is mainly used as a natural sweetener, while jam is the classic preserve for spreading. If you're after the first one, our shop carries fig vincotto.
