- Turn off heat. Add remaining ingredients into the pan.
- Fit the pan guard onto your KitchenAid® Cordless Hand Blender arm, then attach the arm to the motor body.
- Set the blender arm blade over a fig and press the variable speed controller for 2 seconds.
- Release the variable speed controller, set the base of the blender arm over another fig, and repeat the process until all of the figs have been broken down.
- Proceed to move the blender arm throughout the mixture until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Store jam in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
