Making Marmelade the French way

Well, I actually do not know if there is a official French way, however I learned how to make this marmalade in France and therefor i call it the French way.

Its very simple, first put some glasses in the oven at 200 degree for 30 Minutes, this sterilizes them.

After, and thats the hard part, get some fruits.
In this case i had figs, they are simple, you just chop them small. Fruits without cores are the easiest to process.

Than put all in a bowl, with twice as much sugar than fruits, mix well and let it rest overnight.

After that bring it to boil for 3 minutes, add a bit of water if necessary. Than take a bit on a plate and put it in the fridge for 3 minutes.
Check the consistency and if you like the result, make the glasses full and seal them.
Than put the glasses into boiling water for 15 minutes this sterilization kills all germs and your Marmalade is than ready.

Once opened keep it cool and check regularly if its still good.
Enjoy
