👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Combine figs, sugar, gelatin mix, and lemon in a large pot; set aside for 1 hour. Bring to a boil; cook over medium heat, stirring often to prevent burning, until foam disappears and preserves are thick, 25 to 40 minutes.'}

2. 2

   {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Inspect three (1-pint) Mason jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until preserves ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.'}

3. 3

   {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Pack preserves into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.'}

4. 4

   {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.'}

5. 5

   {'id': 'step_4', 'step': 5, 'text': 'Remove jars from the stockpot and place on a cloth-covered or wooden surface, several inches apart, until cool.
