How to make it
- Mash the strawberries, figs and ginger together in a saucepan.

- Measure sugar into separate bowl.
- Thoroughly mix pectin powder into sugar.
- Bring fruit mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
- Add pectin-sugar, stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes to dissolve pectin.
- Return to boil and remove from heat.
- Pour into jars and can in a waterbath for 10 minutes or refrigerate up to 4 weeks.
Calcium Water:
- Pomona's comes with two packets - one of pectin and one of monocalcium phosphate. The calcium helps activate the pectin under low-sugar circumstances. To prepare calcium water mix the contents of the packet with 1/2 cup water in a jar and shake well. You only need 2-3 tsp per batch so store the rest in the jar in the fridge - it keeps a long time.
