Fresh figs
To make fig jam with a Thermomix, you’ll need to gather a few essential ingredients:
Fresh figs: Choose around 1 kg of ripe, washed and stemmed figs. Organic figs are ideal for their authentic, pesticide-free flavor. You can also add the juice of half a lemon to balance the sweetness of the figs.
Sugar: Add 500 g of sugar to obtain a sweet, jelly-like jam. Choosing organic or unrefined sugar can bring added value in terms of flavor and naturalness.
Place the quartered figs, sugar and lemon juice in the Thermomix bowl. Blend on speed 5 for 10 seconds to obtain a smooth mixture.
Then program your Thermomix for 30 minutes at 100°C on speed 1, without the measuring cup but with the cooking basket in place on the lid, to avoid splashing while letting the air circulate.
After cooking, you’ll obtain a smooth, perfectly cooked jam. Immediately transfer the jam to sterilized jars while still hot. Close the jars and turn them upside down to create an air space for better preservation.
To preserve and enjoy your fig jam at its best, store jars in a cool, dark place. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and consume within a reasonable time.
Powdered sugar
To make the perfect fig jam with a Thermomix, here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 kg fresh figs
- 500 g powdered sugar
- 1 untreated lemon (zest and juice)
Start by washing and hulling the figs. Then cut them into small pieces. Place the fig pieces in the Thermomix bowl.
Add the powdered sugar to the figs, along with the lemon zest and juice. Mix on speed 4 for about 20 seconds.
Then move on to baking. Program the Thermomix at 100°C, speed 2, for 40 minutes. Don’t forget to remove the measuring cup and place the cooking basket on the lid to avoid splashing.
When cooking is complete, check the consistency of the jam. If it is too runny, cook for a few minutes longer.
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars. Close the jars and immediately turn them upside down to create an air vacuum.
Allow to cool completely before storing in a cool, dry place.
Lemon juice
To make fig jam with your Thermomix, here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 kg fresh figs
- 500 g sugar
- 1 lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon liquid vanilla (optional)
Lemon juice is essential in the preparation of your jam. Not only does it act as a natural preservative, it also enhances the taste of the figs. Remember to use fresh lemon juice for best results.
To prepare your jam, start by washing and cutting your figs into small pieces. Place them in the Thermomix bowl with the sugar and lemon juice.
Set your Thermomix to Varoma, speed 1, for 50 minutes. Then blend for 10 seconds at speed 6 to obtain a smooth texture.
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, seal and invert to create an air space. Leave to cool completely before storing.
Preparation steps
Start by carefully washing 1 kg of fresh figs. Cut them into quarters and place them in the Thermomix bowl.
Add 500 g of sugar, the juice of one lemon and a sachet of pectin to ensure the jam sets well.
Close the Thermomix lid and program for 10 minutes at 100°C, speed 1, without the measuring cup. This step allows the sugar and figs to mix well, while the cooking begins.
Then blend on speed 5 for 10 seconds to achieve optimum homogeneity.
Continue cooking for 20 minutes at 100°C, speed 1, still without the measuring cup. Be sure to keep a close eye on the jam at the end of the cooking time, so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
To check the texture of your jam, place a small amount on a cold plate. If it sets quickly, it’s ready.
Pour hot jam directly into sterilized jars. Close the jars immediately, then turn them upside down to create a vacuum and ensure optimum preservation.
Leave the jars to cool completely, upside down. Then store in a cool, dry place, away from light.
Enjoy your delicious homemade fig jam on fresh bread, pancakes or with cheese.
Preparing the figs
To make a delicious fig jam with a Thermomix, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients: fresh figs, sugar, lemon juice and perhaps a vanilla pod to enhance the flavours.
Start by carefully washing the figs. Then cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size, and remove the skin if it’s too thick.
Place the prepared figs in the Thermomix bowl. Add the sugar and lemon juice. If you’d like to add a touch of vanilla, split the pod in half and add the seeds to the figs.
Close the Thermomix lid and blend on speed 5 for 10 seconds to homogenize the mixture.
Program to bake at 100°C, speed 4, for 30 minutes. Make sure the measuring cup is in place.
At the end of cooking, check the consistency of the jam. If it’s too runny, cook for a further 10 minutes on Varoma, speed 3, without the cup, to allow evaporation.
Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, pour immediately into sterilized jars. Close the jars and turn them upside down to create an air space, for better preservation.
Allow jars to cool to room temperature before storing in a cool, dark place.
Cooking with the Thermomix
Choose ripe, flavorful figs for a richly flavored jam. Wash figs thoroughly under cold running water to remove any impurities.
Next, cut the figs into small pieces. This makes for faster, more even cooking. You can also keep the skin on the figs for a more rustic, fiber-rich texture.
Place the fig pieces in the Thermomix bowl. Add 500 g of sugar for 1 kg of figs. For a touch of originality, you can add the juice of a lemon and a vanilla pod.
Run the Thermomix on speed 3, at 100°C, for around 10 minutes. This will dissolve the sugar and start cooking the figs.
After 10 minutes, reduce speed to 1 and cook at 90°C for a further 30 minutes. Remember to remove any scum that may form on the surface to obtain a clearer jam.
While cooking, prepare glass jars. Sterilize them by plunging them into a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes, then leave them to air-dry.
To check doneness, perform the cold plate test. Place a drop of jam on a plate previously placed in the fridge. If the drop sets quickly, your jam is ready.
Once the jam is cooked, pour it immediately into the sterilized jars. Close the jars and turn them upside down for a few minutes to create an air vacuum and ensure better preservation.
Let the jars cool to room temperature. Store in a cool, dry place, away from light.
Potting
To make delicious fig jam with a Thermomix, start by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need :
- 1 kg fresh figs
- 500 g sugar
- 1 lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 vanilla pod (optional)
Wash figs thoroughly. Cut them into quarters and remove the stems. Place the figs in the Thermomix bowl.
Add the sugar, lemon juice and zest, and split vanilla pod if using. Blend for 10 seconds at speed 5 until smooth.
Program the Thermomix to 100°C and set to 20 minutes, speed 2. To avoid splashing, use the cooking basket instead of the measuring cup.
After the 20-minute cooking time, check the consistency of the jam. If it seems too runny, cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes, still at 100°C. The jam is ready when it coats the spoon.
Then move on to potting. Sterilize your pots and lids by immersing them in boiling water for a few minutes. Leave to dry on a clean cloth.
Pour the hot jam into the sterilized jars, using a funnel to prevent spillage. Fill each jar to about 1 cm from the rim.
Close the jars immediately and turn them upside down to create an air vacuum, which will help preserve the jam better. Allow jars to cool completely before turning them upside down again.
Your fig jam is now ready to enjoy! Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, place the jar in the fridge.
