4 cups peeled and chopped figs

3 cups sugar (less if figs are real sweet)

2 3-ounce packages of strawberry Jello or blackberry fusion Jello

Mix figs and sugar. On low fire, add Jello and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.

Add to sterilized jars. Put on lids and seal. Simmer jars in boiling water about 10 to 15 minutes.
