Fig and Grape Preserves
by Tante Marie
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a stainless steel pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 40 minutes. Add lemon juice. Ladle the hot fig-grape mixture into clean jars and chill uncovered overnight. The next day, cover each jar with plastic wrap. Keep in the refrigerator. Enjoy on toast or bagels!
