  • Add honey and figs in a pan and cook on high heat for about 5 mins till the figs start caramelise a bit.
  • Add the sugar and rest of the ingredients and let it cook and simmer for a while.
  • To check whether its done, dip a chilled spoon into the boiling jam mixture and hold it above the pan, if the jam falls down together like a sheet rather than falling in drops, its done.
