Peel and finely chop the figs, and place them in a saucepan. Grate the lemon zest, squeeze the lemon juice, and add it along with the zest. Stir. Sauté everything together with the water and purée using a hand blender. Mix the sugar, Gelfix 2:1, and vanilla sugar. Add to the fig puree and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat until the mixture is just simmering. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove. Place 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto a small plate and check if the jam has set. If not, add a little citric acid and stir in. Now pour the hot mixture into small jars, seal immediately, turn upside down, and let cool.
