Strawberry fig preserve, not crappie but it's good

[WhitePerchJerker]

This is my mother's recipe for Strawberry fig preserve

9 cups mashed figs
9 cups sugar
2 giant packages Jell-O (Strawberry)
Juice of 1 lemon

Wash figs and mash, I peel them. Mix sugar, jell-o and lemon juice, Stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a strong simmer, and stir constantly with wooden spoon. Cook 25 minutes. Put into sterilized jars, put seals, and lids on and turn jars upside down for five minutes. After five minutes turn right side up and do not touch for 24 hours. Everyone seems to love this.
It does not set up real firm but spreads very well on toast or biscuits.
She would make it using Raspberry Jell-o and it was as good as the Strawberry.
