1 Peel the figs and cut them into quarters. Place them in a medium bowl with sugar and lemon zest. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2 The next day, transfer the contents of the bowl to a large heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. To test if the mixture is thick enough, place a drop of the slightly cooled liquid between your thumb and index finger. If the mixture forms a thread when the thumb and finger are slightly separated, the preserves are ready.
3 Spoon into sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator up to 30 days.
