Fig Jam

I use this to fill my fig rolls, but thought I'd write it up as a separate recipe because I have ideas of further things that I can use it in watch... this space for more recipes.

If you don't have Muscovado sugar, any dark sugar will do.

In: Basic


Makes/Serves: batch

Ingredients

  • 250 g Soft Dried Figs
  • 25 g Muscovado Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger

Method

  1. Cut each of the figs into quarters and put into a small saucepan with the dark sugar. Add just enough water to cover the figs and bring to the boil.
  2. Boil for about 12-15 minutes until the figs have gone very soft and mushy.
  3. Tip into a food processor with the spices and blend to a paste.
