AUBERGE FIG AND GINGER JAM - CONFITURE



Auberge Fig and Ginger Jam - Confiture image

We have a wonderful fig tree in our back garden, and this year I cannot keep up with all the fruit! We have had figs in salads, baked figs, figs and cheese - I have made fig chutney, bottled figs and figs in Armagnac...finally, I thought up this idea for a jam, as I think figs and ginger go so well together. It is delicious - and such a wonderful rich colour! Not only is it wonderful spread on toast or bread, but it is lovely dolloped on ice cream and hot desserts, or for steamed puddings! You need to use fresh figs for this recipe - you don't get the same results with dried figs.

Time 6h30m

Yield 2 lb Jars

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs ripe figs, washed and diced
2 lbs preserving sugar
1 -2 tablespoon ground ginger
1 cooking apple, cored, peeled and diced
4 -5 tablespoons crystallized ginger, chopped roughly
3 lemons, juice of, only
1/2 pint water

Steps:

  • Put the figs, sugar and ground ginger into a large non-metallic bowl, cover and leave for 6-8 hours.
  • Just before you are ready to make your jam, warm and sterilise your jam jars and jam pot covers or lids - prepare jars by washing in hot soapy water and leaving to dry and warm in a cool oven - 130C/250F/Gas ½ for 10-15 minutes.
  • Transfer the figs and sugar to a large saucepan or preserving pan, add the apple, crystallised ginger, lemons and water. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the fruit is soft and setting point is reached.
  • Remove the jam from the heat and leave to cool for 20-25 minutes. Pour into the warm jam jars and cover/seal straight away.
  • Label and store in a cool dark place for 2-3 weeks to allow the flavours to develop.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, plump figs: Look for figs that are deep purple or black in color, with no signs of bruising or damage. Ripe figs will have a slightly soft texture when pressed gently.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's best to use it in this recipe. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • Don't overcook the jam: The jam is done when it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and difficult to spread.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing it: This will help the jam to set properly.

Conclusion:

Fig and ginger jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or crackers. It's also a great addition to yogurt or oatmeal. With its sweet and spicy flavor, fig and ginger jam is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. This recipe is easy to follow and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful jam to try, give fig and ginger jam a try. You won't be disappointed!
