Dulce de higo (fig jam)

Instructions

1. Wash the figs, remove the stems and cut them into rough chunks.
2. Put the figs in a pan with the water, the cinnamon stick and the lemon zest.
3. Bring gently to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, mashing the fruit with a spatula.
4. Add the sugar and lemon juice, then continue cooking over low heat for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring often.
5. Remove the cinnamon and zest. Blend the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
6. Check the consistency: a drop placed on a cold plate should not run. Pour into sterilised jars while still hot.
