    Ingredients

    • Dried Figs - 20 stems removed
    • Powdered Jaggery - ½ cup
    • Water - 1 Cup
    • Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp Optional
    • Lemon Juice - ½ tsp

    Instructions

    • Chop the dried figs roughly into pieces after removing the stem. Transfer the chopped figs pieces into a pressure cooker or instant pot. Add powder jaggery. 
    • Add in water. Mix well. 
    • Pressure cook for one whistle in a pressure cooker or Cook at high pressure for 2 mins in the instant pot and let the pressure release naturally. Once pressure released, open the instant pot or pressure cooker.
    • Mash the cooked dried figs with a masher. Alternatively, you can add them to a blender and blend everything until smooth. Add the water used for pressure cooking while grinding if necessary. 
    • Cook and stir it occasionally until it reaches a jam-like consistency. Keep the flame low to medium in a pressure cooker to avoid burning at the bottom. It may take 5-7 mins (use saute button in instant pot). Check the jam consistency in between by placing a spoonful of jam in a plate and cool it down after cooling down, if no water separated, then its the correct consistency for a jam. Once the jam consistency is reached, add vanilla extract (optional). 
    • Squeeze lemon juice and Switch off the flame or Press the Cancel button in the instant pot. Cool it down and store it in a sterilized glass container.

    Dried Figs Jam Recipe for Toddlers and Kids

    Notes :

    • Don't add more water while pressure cooking.
    • Adding lemon juice to the jam increase shelf life. Don't skip it.
    • Make sure your kid is not allergic to dried figs before you try this jam.
    • The quantity of the sweetener depends on the sweetness of dried figs. Check and adjust accordingly.
    • Use a clean jar to store the jam. If preparing the jam in large quantities, I would suggest sterilizing the glass jars.
    • Check the jam consistency by place a spoonful of jam in a plate and cool it down after cooling down. If no water separated, then it is the correct consistency for a jam.
    • You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar/powdered jaggery. But to make it healthy, I recommend jaggery.
    • Keep it refrigerated and consume within a couple of weeks. But it keeps well for a month if handled correctly.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

      Can I use prunes for this recipe instead of dried figs?
