This Ridiculously Easy Orange Fig Jam is almost embarrassingly easy- combine dried figs (yes DRIED figs), sugar, orange juice and zest along with a splash of vinegar - cook, stir, puree - you're done! Then it's time to enjoy!

Scott and I were in one of those fun little home and kitchen boutique shops last weekend. He spotted a jar of Orange Fig Jam and placed it on the counter with a few other items we were purchasing. When we arrived home that day and I was unpacking our treasures, I noticed the price on that small jar of jam... "ouch", I thought to myself!

Right then and there, I decided to make my own! I knew from my Balsamic Fig Jam that it's not difficult and doesn't even require pectin. I decided to adapt that easy recipe to include lots of fresh orange flavor. So I went to work...

It was pretty simple from the go. I subbed orange juice for the water and omitted the balsamic vinegar but when I tasted the new concoction it was overly sweet so a splash of apple cider vinegar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice balanced everything perfectly. Lots of finely grated orange zest, stirred in at the end, added lots of fresh orange flavor. Done!

Make this jam any time of year!

I love that this orange fig jam can be made any time of year since it's made with dried figs. Since fig season is so short and fresh figs are expensive (unless you're lucky enough have a fig tree growing in your yard), this is a wonderful option. I wasn't sure the first time I made fig jam from dried figs if it would live up to fresh fig jam but I was happily surprised. Honestly, you can't tell the difference!

Ridiculously Easy

I would be remiss not to tell you about our whole collection of recipes that we call Ridiculously Easy. You can read more about these recipes in this post and check out the whole collection here. To keep things simple, I define this elite category as "the recipes that make you look like a kitchen rock star with minimal effort on your part".

Sound good? Yep, we think so too!

What to do with this Ridiculously Easy Orange Fig Jam

So what do you do with fig jam? SO much! This super-easy orange fig jam will add lots of pizzazz to your everyday culinary world. Here are a few ideas:

  • It's fantastic on toast, biscuits, scones, bagels or homemade rolls. We LOVE it on our Seeded Danish Carrot Rolls that you see in the pictures in this post (recipe coming up next week!) or our No-Knead Brioche Bread (that my son says is "better than grandma's - that's my mom, who was famous for her homemade bread).
  • Serve as pictured above on a cheeseboard. We love it with a smoky cheddar or Gouda, creamy goat cheese, Manchego, Roquefort, Blue or Gorgonzola. Grapes, apples, pears and a handful of nuts like these Easy Candied Pecans or these Sweet and Spicy Roasted Almonds all pair nicely with this jam.
  • Use it as a topping for baked brie.
  • Layer this jam with cheese in a grilled sandwich with turkey, ham, thinly sliced pork or smoked chicken.
  • Mix it in yogurt. Add sliced bananas and some toasted pecans or a sprinkle of granola, delish!
  • Heat it up and drizzle it over ice cream.
  • Serve it with yogurt instead of honey or jam.
  • Use it as a base for pizza or flatbread.
  • Use it as a delicious glaze for pork and chicken.
  • Roast some veggies with olive oil and a spoonful of this balsamic fig jam... so good!
  • Make a vinaigrette with it.
  • Use it as a filling between cake layers.
  • Make a simple appetizer by spreading goat cheese on little bread toasts and topping each with a slice of prosciutto and a dollop of this Balsamic Fig Jam.
  • Give it as a gift!

Give it as a gift?

Yes, this fantastic orange fig jam makes a wonderful gift for family, friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers, etc. Pair it with some gourmet crackers and a nice wedge of cheese for a fabulous hostess gift.

Café Tips for making this Ridiculously Easy Orange Fig Jam

  • What type of dried figs to use for this jam? Any kind! I love the golden dried figs from Trader Joe's and have also used dried Mission figs, but any type of dried figs will work. The color of the jam will vary, depending on the type of dried figs you use.
  • This jam has to simmer for 20-25 minutes. When jam simmers, there's the tendency for little bits of it to splash out of the pan, so I like to use a fairly large pot to prevent a mess.
  • Figs can be sticky, so I like to spray my knife with a bit of cooking spray or rub it with a little oil when chopping up my figs.
  • This recipe is easily doubled. It may take a few extra minutes of cooking to achieve the desired thickness.
  • Jars of this Easy Orange Fig Jam make lovely gifts for friends, neighbors, teachers, hairdressers, postmen, etc. Pair it with a nice box of crackers, a wedge of cheese, and a bottle of wine for the best-ever hostess gift!
  • If you give this jam as a gift, be sure to tell your giftee that it should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for longer storage. If you decide to use the water bath method,d it will be shelf-stable.
  • The easiest way to blend this Ridiculously Easy Orange Fig Jam is with an immersion blended as you can blend it right in the pot. I love my immersion blender as it's a super versatile workhorse in my kitchen and can be used for soups, sauces, and so much more.

  1. We had a bag of figs, saw the recipe for this fig jam and decided to try it. Easy to make and delicious with a lot of things and also by itself. I’m planning to share some. Thanks, this is another good one for keeping.

  2. I'm guessing your metric conversion button was distracted when it wrote this one:
    "414 ml granulated sugar". Probably it meant to say that 1 3/4 C. granulated sugar was equal to 350 grams (assuming 200g per cup.)

    But hey now, this jam on a cracker with an aged Gouda? or an aged cheddar? or a brie? or a little left over piece of ham? or turkey? or on a spoon, or the tip of a handy finger? Man oh man, is this stuff tasty! What a treat, Chris! Thanks again.

  21. I just experimented with your orange fig recipe; wow, I was surprised as I was skeptical in the apple cider vinegar. I used fresh figs and needed to cook down longer to get the consistency I prefer. It is a bit sweeter then I want, and next time I will modify the suger. I am very pleased and looking forward to devouring it in the coming winter months. Thanks for sharing. Also, could you please email you fabulous labels. Thank you, have a wonderful day.

  27. Hi! I just made this jam and it's excellent. The added orange zest really makes it special. I'm canning this recipe; the link for the canning directions says to let the water boil according to the recipe time given, but you didn't give one for canning.

  28. Hello, I would like to make the orange fig jam. I have figs in my freezer from my fall crop. Will the measurements on the remaining ingredients be the same if I replace the dried figs with frozen figs?

    Reply

    1. Hi Yolanda, frozen or fresh figs will have a longer cooking time as the figs are not as concentrated as with dried. I haven't tested the recipe with fresh figs so I can't give you an exact time. Cook the jam until it's almost as thick as you'd like, remembering that it will thicken a bit more as it cools.

  30. Made a batch of this to include in some Easter gift boxes for friends and it's absolutely delicious. I pulverized fresh peeled cara cara oranges in the blender and poured them into the mixture pulp and all and got amazing results. Thank you so much!

    Reply

  31. This recipe is great! I had some fresh figs that weren't very sweet, but I also had dried ones, so I combined them and made this . I tested it out on a few friends and they loved it! It reminds me of Europe where they have various fruit jams in large quantities on the breakfast buffets.
    The dried figs I used had been marinating in bourbon because I had a recipe from Marcus Samuelsson's cookbook that used them for a cocktail. Well, they never made it to the cocktail, and they weren't too potent for the jam after cooking. Delicious! Your label design is really beautiful . Please send the label pdf

    For the orange fig jam, about how many oranges for 2 cups of orange juice, or is there a bottled juice that would work?
    I plan to make or myself and for gifts so would love the label instructions.

    Reply

    1. Hi Helga, thanks for your kind and encouraging words! Regarding the oranges, it all depends on how juicy your oranges are. I like using fresh orange juice because you need the zest of some of them anyway. On average, an orange will yield around ½ cup of juice.

    1. Hi Mary, thanks for the heads-up about the canning link. I will correct that. Regarding the fresh figs, I haven't tried this recipe with fresh figs so I can't give you precise measurements. I would probably use double the weight in fresh figs and then cook it down longer to thicken the jam.

      Reply

  69. I was looking at this recipe and I saw that there were "hot bath instructions", #7 of the "Café Tips". ...If you prefer to can this jam to make it shelf stable, follow these directions.]
    et when I used your link posted on the recipe this is what I got...404: PAGE NOT FOUND
    WHOOPS! LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE HAPPENED UPON A PAGE THAT HAS BEEN MOVED OR NO LONGER EXISTS...
    Are the hot bath instructions the same as listed in some of your other recipes or is there something special or different about this recipe. I'm just starting to do some canning so this is why I am asking...thanks for any help you can provide, it is greatly appreciated.

  72. Now on my second batch of this jam using fresh figs. Easy and delicious but have learned you can get by with only one cup of orange juice when you use fresh figs. There is so much water in them that two cups leads to thin jam, even with extra simmering. The other liquids don’t overwhelm the flavor so that’s the only adjustment I made. Enjoy!

  127. I have a fig tree that produces ALOT of figs, do you think I could use this recipe with fresh figs? And also could you send me a copy of your beautiful printable labels.
    Thanks, Linda

    1. Hi Linda, lucky you! I would think fresh figs would work but I've only tested the recipe with dry figs so I can't say for sure.

    To realize you used dried figs.

    1. Hi DoLee, I haven't tested this recipe with fresh figs but I think it should work fine. You may have to cook it a bit longer, until everything gets nice and jammy.

  158. Bless you for this fig recipe!! My fig tree produced an enormous amounts of figs several seasons ago, and I purchased a dehydrator and dried several pounds of fresh figs. I never used them! So now, with your reipe, I am making fig and orange jam! I would love some of these beautiful labels...

    God bless you!

  159. Thank you for this recipe , Chris. The jam tasted so good though it was very thick as I had overcooked it. Fortunately, I managed to salvage it by boiling it again with a cup of water. Can I reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe to make a low sugar version ? I love your ridiculously easy recipes . Would you consider creating some low sugar recipes for those of us on a low sugar diet? Thank you.

    Reply

    1. Hi Lyn, yes, this jam is very forgiving if it's overcooked - a little extra water does the trick!
      Regarding your question, you could go with less sugar. The jam will need to cook a little longer though to get thick.
      Regarding your question, I will keep that in mind although I'm not an expert on low-sugar recipes. This is a great website for good lower sugar recipes: https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com

    Can't wait to make this for my mom and her friends in Church, Can you please share the Printable labels with me? When I ,aka one of your jams and use your labels everyone always comments on the label more than the preserves...I should be insulted I guess. But I'm not because I taste everything before sharing and know the preserves taste Great!!

    1. Hi Candace, I'm wondering if they went to your junk mail. I just resent them, let us know if you don't get them.

    1. Hi Cheri, you could use all lemon juice although the vinegar does balance this jam well and I promise, you will never taste vinegar.

      Reply

    1. I wouldn't sub 2 cups of lemon juice as it would be too tart. But you could use water and some lemon juice.
