This jam went off well so I made it for a brunch I hosted with friends, a dinner at my friend Cathy’s house and then as a present for my Dad’s 70th birthday and now I’m sharing it here! The jam is quick to make and only calls for 4 ingredients: dried figs, dried red chilis, honey and lemon. This is also a good way to make jam in the winter, when variety of seasonal fruits are scarce.
I’m a big fan of raw honey so that’s the type of honey I used for the jam, but you can also use regular honey:
The jam is truly sweet and spicy, but you can vary the chili according to your taste. I’ve eaten the jam quite a few ways, but my favorites are served with a baguette and a sharp cheese like cheddar, mixed in with plain yogurt & sliced almonds or in a sandwich with plain old peanut butter.
Chili Fig Jam
Ingredients
24 dried figs
4 red chilis
juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup raw honey
1 1/2 cups water
Method
Put the figs, chilis, lemon juice and honey in a pot. Fill the pot with water. You want to make sure the contents are covered with water.
Bring the pot to a boil and then simmer until the figs are really soft, about 15-20 minutes.
Cool the mixture and then blend it to the consistency you like using a hand blender or regular blender. You can store in the fridge for up to a week.
If you want to can this jam, read this post on how to preserve it in sterilized jars.
Hallo.
Ich würde sehr, sehr gerne dieses super geniale Rezept nachmachen, es wäre super wenn sie noch ihre Tassen Größe dazu schreiben würden.
Ist es eine Tasse mit 240 ml oder mit 120 ml?
Viele Grüße,
