The first week of November marks National Fig Week so I thought it was about time to update and share my Great Grandmother’s No Fail Strawberry Fig Jam.
How can I claim this jam is no fail? There is a secret ingredient… gelatin!
I heard my fellow traditional jam and jelly makers gasp in horror. Yes, it is a “cheater jam”. But, it is quite delicious and no one has to know you didn’t fuss and bother to get the right combination of ingredients and temperature to find the perfect jelling point.

Audrey, I’ve never heard of jam like this! Of course, I don’t make fig jam. — I can never get them in sufficient quantity. If ever I can, I’d love to make some jam. Thank you for hosting!
I have also used the jello trick to make cherry lime marmalade that was delicious too.
Audrey, I just added another link. I put up a post today that’s not exactly about food, but it does contain links to three of my recipes, so I thought it might “pass.” I’m hoping lots of fellow bloggers will comment on it.
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing with us.
