Fig jam and cheese


Get
:
  • 1 lb figs, stems removed (actual: 417g)
  • 0.75c sugar (actual: 148g)
  • 0.25c water
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
Do:
  • puree the figs
  • bring to simmer the water, sugar, lemon, and figs over medium-low heat.
  • simmer for 1 hour covered
  • reduce, to "jam-like consistency" ("gel stage, 220F")
  • jar it and let cool with lid loose
Serve:
  • spread on toast with goat cheese. Just like wine affairs!
Results:
  • i didn't let it get to 220F, it was plenty jam-y at 210F.
  • tasted good! very mildly tangy flavor, mostly you just get the sweet.
  • lots and lots of seeds. I could imagine trying to sieve them out... didn't though.
