The absolutely most delicious way to eat fresh figs is simply to hold one plump, moist fig in your hand and bite into it. But the yearning to preserve a little of that flavor overcame me. Here\u2019s an unusual fig jam recipe that includes red wine, herbs, and a little balsamic vinegar. The mildly acidic flavors brighten up what is often a rather bland preserve, and the spices give it a subtle herbal undertone. The jam improves over time, tasting even more delicious a couple of days after it\u2019s sat in the fridge.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

1.360 kg. (3 lb) fresh figs
\n1 1\/4 cups white sugar
\n1 cup dark, runny honey
\n1\/2 cup dry red wine
\nA good splash of balsamic vinegar
\n1 2-inch sprig of fresh rosemary (Don\u2019t use dried rosemary, you\u2019ll never get those little needles out. Substitute 1\/4 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme if you don\u2019t have rosemary.)
\n1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon
\n1 medium bay leaf<\/p>\n

Method:<\/p>\n

Rinse the figs and slice the stems off. Cut into halves if figs are small, into quarters if large. Put them into a large saucepan or a bowl.<\/p>\n

Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the figs. Stir gently and cover. Leave the figs alone at room temperature for 2 hours, stirring twice during that time. Remove the rosemary sprig.<\/p>\n

Turn the heat to high and boil the considerably softened and juicy fig mixture. Stir often, keeping a sharp eye out for when the jam starts to thicken. Don\u2019t reduce the heat, just keep stirring to prevent scorching. Test the jam on a cold plate; if a drop holds its shape, it\u2019s ready. The whole thing should take no more than 20 minutes and maybe only 15.<\/p>\n

Remove the bay leaf and if you like, pur\u00e9e the jam before storing. I use a stick blender and pur\u00e9e it right there in its pan, while its still somewhat hot (with great care to keep away from splashes).<\/p>\n

According to Leda, you don\u2019t have to sterilize the jars for this recipe. I don\u2019t have much pantry space, so I keep the few preserves I make in the fridge. It keeps for three months. Follow standard boiling water-bath procedure if you wish to store the jam at room temperature for any length of time.<\/p>\n

I serve teaspoons of this jam with local Tzefat white cheeses. A nice mature Brie also pairs deliciously with it. And a glass of chilled Chardonnay with them never did anyone any harm.<\/p>\n
