Fig jam

¡Hola amigos!

The September Fig Jam recipe was super popular on Instagram, people went nuts for it! Give it a go if you haven’t already.

My personal toque is to add a bit of orange zest, which makes it espectacular and my favorite way of eating it is with a bit of queso Gruyere or Manchego. Te mueres!

Ingredients:

Figs - 1 kg
Lemon - 1
Orange - 1
White sugar - 400 g
Water - 150 ml

Preparation:

1. Wash the figs and cut them in half.
2. Put the figs in water in a large saucepan.
3. Cook until figs have softened and released their juices.
4. Add the orange zest, sugar and lemon juice.
5. Bring to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir regularly.
6. Remove from the heat and leave to sit for 10 minutes.
7. Ladle the mixture into sterilised jars. Seal with lids and leave to cool completely.
