Fig Jam with Rum

Bonne nouvelle, cette recette riche et parfumée fait des merveilles avec les figues séchées et vous offre toute la douceur incomparable de ce fruit magnifique. Vous verrez que cette confiture rapido presto illumine tout un monde de produits — prosciutto, salades, crostini, focaccia, desserts — la liste est longue!

In Italy, pretty much every garden has its fig tree, and you can even find the delicate fruit in abundance alongside roads and trails. Mediterranean weather, am I right? On this side of the Atlantic, only a few devotees manage to grow it, but most of what we eat is grown overseas, and the iconic fruit often comes to us dried. But the good news is this rich and fragrant recipe makes wonders with dried figs! Just the thing to enjoy the magic of this sublime fruit all year long. We bet you’ll find that this quick recipe brightens pretty much anything—from prosciutto to salads, crostini, focaccia, and desserts the list goes on and on. This special recipe comes from none other than nonna Natalina, our chef Michele’s grandma. She created this recipe so she could enjoy a little taste of the Mediterranean in Montréal, and it’s with great pleasure that we now share it with you!

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. In a saucepan, combine the figs, rum, and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the figs are soft. Transfer to a bowl and let cool at room temperature.
  2. When the fig mixture is cool, blend it with a blender or a hand mixer until the consistency of a fine purée is reached. Put the mixture back into the saucepan and add the sugar. While stirring constantly, cook over low heat for about 10 minutes or until the mixture has the consistency of a spread.
  3. Pour the jam into the Mason jars and let cool. Keep in the refrigerator.
