Fig Jam

🌞 Arizona Fig Jam

Handcrafted • Small Batch • Local Sunshine in a Jar

Crafted under the blazing Arizona sun, our Fig Jam is a true ode to resilience, ripeness, and radiant desert flavor. At Carolyn’s Classics, we blend a gorgeous mix of white figs, St. Peter figs, Mission figs, and whatever sweet, sun-drenched inverted flower-fruits we can harvest from the fig trees scattered across the Valley.

This jam is tender, rich, and naturally honeyed—boasting the deep caramel notes of fully ripened fruit and the soft, seedy texture that fig lovers crave.

🌟 Fun Fig Fact
Figs aren't actually fruits, they're inverted flowers! Each fig contains tiny florets inside, pollinated in nature by fig wasps. This ancient plant has been cultivated for over 11,000 years and holds sacred significance in cultures across the world, from the Buddha’s enlightenment beneath the fig tree to Mediterranean harvest rituals.

☀️ A Taste of Arizona
Our fig jam is a jar full of desert magic: sweet, sticky, sun-ripened, and slow-simmered. It’s one of the most time-intensive jams we make, and one we are incredibly proud to offer. From our trees to your table—this one is truly rooted in love.

🍳 Chef’s Note
“Harvesting figs is always a challenge—Arizona heat, sticky fruit, and quick ripening windows mean we have to act fast and with care. I freeze the best figs as they come in, preserving them for the perfect jam-making moment. Every jar is a labor of sun-kissed love.”
