9 cups fresh figs (Kadota) quartered
3 cups fresh blueberries
4 cups sugar
½ cup lime juice
1 tsp mace
Combine all ingredients in preserving pot; mash figs and blueberries. Let stand at least 2 hours. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and boil gently for 45 minutes to an hour until mixture thickens to gel stage (22o° degrees).
Remove from heat and stir 5 minutes to prevent fruit from floating. Skim off foam if necessary. Ladle into prepared sterile jars, leaving ¼ inch head space. Wipe the rims of the jars to ensure there is no spilled jam to prevent a good seal. Seal jars according to manufacturer’s directions. Place in boiling bath for ten minutes.
