Pour in enough water to avoid the figs sticking to the pot.

Cook on an induction stove for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.

Check the consistency after 20 minutes; if it’s too liquid, continue cooking for up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Once the desired consistency is reached, pour the jam into sterilized containers while still warm.

Seal the containers tightly and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
