While the figs are boiling in syrup, add lemon juice or citric acid directly to the empty canning jars. You'll need to add 2 Tbsp. of bottled lemon juice per quart, or 1 tbsp per pint. If you're using citric acid, you can use 1/2 tsp citric acid per quart or 1/4 tsp per pint.

Use a slotted spoon to fill the canning jars with figs, and then ladle the canning syrup on top. Be sure to leave 1/2 inch headspace.

Seal the jars with 2 part canning lids and process them in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 45 minutes for pints and ⏱️ 50 minutes for quarts (below 1000 feet in elevation). See notes for processing times for higher elevations.

Once the processing time is complete, turn off the heat and allow the jars to sit in the canner for an additional ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. This partially cools the jars and helps prevent siphoning as the jars are removed from the canner. Use a jar lifter to remove the jars to cool on a towel on the counter.

Check seals after ⏱️ 12-24 hours. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use. Properly canned and sealed jars will keep on the pantry shelf for 12-18 months.
