- Prepare the Figs:
- Rinse the figs thoroughly under cold water. Remove any stems and cut the figs into quarters.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a large pot, combine the figs, lemon juice, and water. Stir to mix the ingredients evenly.

- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the figs with a spoon as they soften.
- Add Chia Seeds and Vanilla:
- If you prefer a thicker jam, add the chia seeds and stir well to combine. The chia seeds will help to thicken the jam as it cools. Add the vanilla extract if using, and stir to mix.
