Does anyone have a good recipe for fig perserves that does not use jello (i'm a vegetarian)?

I make all kinds of jams and preserves without gelatin. You need to up the sugar a bit and add a bit of lemon juice. Cook it longer until it starts to thicken to the point of being just a little too runny (It will thicken as it cools) and can it as you like.

Someone asked why jello isn't vegetarian? Gelatin is an animal protein made from collagen, the connective tissue found in tendons, bones, and skins. You get gelatin or 'jello' from boiling the animal bones, connective tissue and skin. Report It
