Description

One of my favorite combinations is fig jam or paste with aged cheese, so I made a batch of spiced fig jam so we can enjoy it with wedges of aged Pecorino cheese after dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts Chopped Fresh Figs
  • 6 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Red Wine (Or Water)
  • Juice From 1 Lemon
  • 3 sticks Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon Whole Cloves

Preparation

Tie the cinnamon sticks and cloves in a square of cheesecloth. Combine the figs, sugar, and water in a large, heavy sauce pan. Drop in the bag of spices and bring the mixture slowly to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook over low heat until the mixture has become very thick, about 45 minutes to an hour, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. You can, if you wish, use a stick immersion blender to blend in any of the fig skins that haven’t broken down. Add lemon juice, remove the spice bag and cook 1 minute longer. Pour the hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4″ head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.

Makes about 5 pints.

Made this today. The flavor was great! But it took much longer than an hour to simmer down the figs to the desired consistency. At 1 hour it was more like fig sauce. Which is great on ice cream!
