That is a good question, and I don't know!</strong> Could this recipe be made with unflavored gelatin?

I am going to try blackberry. I have tried peach, but the flavor is not distinct. I hope to try apricot as well. If you have any experience that you would like to share in regard to additional flavors, I am interested. Thanks. PS I put my figs in the food processor...I don't like chunks of fruit in my jam. <strong>Hi Susan, thanks for stopping by and sharing ideas with us. I guess I'm a Jell-O illiterate, because I was not aware there was a blackberry flavor! PLEASE come back and let us know how it turns out. Have you made the strawberry or raspberry so you can compare? And let us know about apricot as well. Good luck! Have you used any other flavor jello. I am going to try blackberry.

No, we do not peel the figs in this one. Just like not mashing them, we like them to have a "shape" in this preserve recipe. Even though some of them break down, most of them stay relatively whole, and then we "spread" the candied fig out onto the biscuit along with the syrup. To me, it makes figs unique in that way--the fruit can stay whole. HOWEVER, if you would like a much softer, jammy spread, then I guess you could peel them. Let us know what you decide to do and how it turns out, ok?</strong> Thanks for the recipe…can you please tell me if you peel the figs?
