   Both of my grandmothers had fig trees in their yards, so I grew up eating a lot of homemade fig preserves. Braswell's fig preserves don't have the chunks of fruit I'd expect of preserves. As you can tell from the photo, the fruit isn't quite a puree, but it's pretty close. I would classify this as more a jam, and a fairly thin one — since I was expecting a fairly thick consistency, I wasn't very careful when I first opened the jar and I nearly poured it all over the countertop. I'm not incredibly upset that it's not the same consistency as my grandmothers' preserves, since they both tended to leave such large pieces of fig that the preserves could be a bit hard to spread. Braswell's goes a bit too far in the other direction, though, and is so runny that I'd imagine I'd have a hard time if I wanted to use it to make some sort of appetizer. I can literally pour this out of the jar, so it would certainly run off of anything I put it on that wasn't perfectly flat.

   That said, it tastes very good, and fairly similar to my grandparents' fig preserves. Some other brands I've tried have included too much lemon juice, which dominated the fairly subtle flavor of the figs. Braswell's fig "preserves"/jam tastes like sweetened figs, without any noticeable lemony tartness. And flavor is pretty much always more important than consistency — some of the other brands had the consistency I expected of fig preserves, but it didn't matter since they didn't taste at all of figs. Braswells' very thin fig preserves are a very tasty (if slightly runny) fig jam, and I can work with that.

   I think this product is a bit on the pricey side, but it's still less expensive than most other brands of fig preserves offered on Amazon. And of the several brands of fig preserves I've ordered from Amazon so far, Braswell's has the best flavor. I'll definitely be purchasing this product again… at least until I can leave the house and travel again so I can go buy some homemade fig preserves from a farmer's market.

   The best fig preserves on the market. Bought some in North Carolina but nowhere here in the Rocky Mountains until Amazon!

   If you like figs like I do, you will enjoy this fig jam. I have used this jam in scones, quick breads, chocolate chip cookies (figs and chocolate, umm, a match made in heaven), cakes and, yes, even melted and brushed on fruit pies (don't knock it til you tried it). Do yourself a favor and pick up a jar of Braswell Fig Preserves.

   Braswell's Fig Preserves are so delicious. So delicious in fact, I purchased their Pear Preserves too. Both remind me of my Grandmother's.
