Fig canning recipes are a great way to preserve fresh figs while they’re perfectly ripe, since they’re delicate and don’t keep long once harvested. Canning Figs in syrup is the simplest preserve, but Fig Jam is probably the tastiest, though Pickled Figs will surprise you. Figs are not naturally acidic, so be sure to follow tested recipes and add lemon juice to lower the pH for safe waterbath canning.
