  Categories: Condiments, Jams
       Yield: 9 Servings
  
       3 lb Of white figs
       3    Oranges
   6 3/4 c  Sugar (3 3/8 pounds)
       3    Lemons
  
   Makes about 9 half-pints. Wash, peel and chop the figs. Wash and chop
   the oranges, including the rind. Put figs and oranges in a preservng
   kettle with the sugar. Place on low heat and cook, uncovered, about
   45 minutes, stirring occasionally.  While this is simmering, wash,
   very thinly slice and seed the lemons. Cook them in a small amount of
   water until tender and drain.  About 15 minutes before the fig
   mixture is done, add the lemon slices.  Ladle into hot, sterilized
   jars and seal immediately.
   
   To seal:  Fill to within 1/2-inch head room, being sure to first wipe
   the rim and threads of the jars with a hot damp cloth to remove all
   particles of food, seeds or spices. While contents are hot, cover
   with a 1/8-inch layer of paraffin.  When paraffin has set, add
   another layer of melted paraffin, tilting and rotating the jar to
   seal completely.
