REAL FIG PRESERVES

Figs are naturally sweet and very flavorful, however, the taste should not be bland. It's okay to spice it up a little.

Time P2DT1h30m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons baking soda
5 cups fresh figs, stems removed
1 cup water
1 ½ cups white sugar
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch salt, or to taste
8 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Dissolve the baking soda in about 2 quarts of cool water, and immerse the figs in the treated water in a large bowl. Gently stir to wash the figs, then drain off the water and rinse the figs thoroughly with fresh cool water. Place the figs into a large pot. Add 1 cup water, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, lemon, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Very gently stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar, keeping the figs intact as much as possible.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the figs are golden brown and coated in syrup, about 1 hour. Stir gently a couple of times to keep the figs from burning onto the bottom of the pot. Add a pinch of salt, if desired, to tame the sweetness.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the figs into the hot, sterilized jars and top off with syrup, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area, and wait at least 2 days before opening.

FIG PRESERVES BREAD



Fig Preserves Bread image

I had some fig preserves in the fridge that needed to be used and I thought they would go great in bread. I tried to make the recipe low in fat, but I do love a slice of this slathered in butter. Taste your preserves to see how sweet they are... you may find you can cut down on the sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs: The quality of your figs will greatly impact the taste of your preserves. Look for figs that are plump, slightly soft to the touch, and have no blemishes.
  • Use a variety of figs: If possible, use a mix of different varieties of figs. This will give your preserves a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the figs: Fig preserves should be cooked until they are thick and syrupy, but not so long that they become tough or chewy. Keep a close eye on them during cooking and remove them from the heat as soon as they reach the desired consistency.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread you use for your fig preserves bread will also affect the overall flavor of the dish. Choose a bread that is slightly sweet and has a dense crumb, such as challah or brioche.
  • Toast the bread before assembling the sandwiches: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better under the preserves and will also add a nice flavor contrast.
  • Serve the sandwiches warm: Fig preserves bread is best served warm, so assemble the sandwiches just before you're ready to eat them.

Conclusion:

Fig preserves bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its sweet and tangy flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a few ripe figs on hand, give this recipe a try!
