How can you make mock strawberry jelly with figs?

To make mock strawberry jelly using figs, start by blending fresh or dried figs with water to create a smooth puree. Strain the mixture to remove any solids, then combine the fig puree with sugar and lemon juice to taste, heating gently until the sugar dissolves. For a jelly-like consistency, add pectin and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once thickened, pour the mixture into jars and let it cool before refrigerating to set.
