Same calculation error, other direction.
Mental note when using smaller fruit (berries, figs, etc) jam recipes for the first time. The odds are good that the person writing them doesn't own a Squeeze-O (or even know what one is).** Upon checking their notes at the bottom of the recipe, they did not even peal the figs..... Yeah, so I lost half the weigh to peals and the 50% of the fig seeds it removed. 6 lbs only makes one batch of 8 jars. Also, assume the fig jam recipes are for mission figs not the lighter flavored brown turkey figs. Cinnamon content is good, but it's a little on the sweet side (and I cut the sugar). Also a little lighter fig flavor than I prefer. May have to play around with those more next year.

**Yes, they've been around since the 20's. They are the most awsome piece of jam making equipment ever (seedless raspberry and black berry jam anyone?). No they arn't cheep, but they are also made of solid metal..... The only reason you buy a second one in your lifetime is as a gift! If you do your own jams, seriously look at investing in one.....
