Fig Jam with Walnuts and Lemon

Not a fan of figs? Then read on, fast — this just might change your mind! Winter is on its way, and a lot of home cooks are busy putting up preserves. I'm no exception. My family loves cracking open a jar of good jam in the dead of winter, so I put real care into making it. There are countless jam recipes out there these days, and I've tried my hand at plenty of them. This time, though, I wanted to surprise my family and friends with something unusual. I found an intriguing fig jam recipe in a book, and today I'm going to give it a go — and walk you through it as I do. I think you'll be curious too.

  • Rinse the figs and trim off the stems. Blanch them for about five minutes in water that's hot but not quite boiling. Prick the grapes and cut the lemons — peel and all — into small pieces. Now make the syrup from the water and sugar. Once it's ready, pour it over the fruit. Bring everything to a boil, then set it aside for 10 to 12 hours. Before the second round of cooking, stir in the walnuts. Simmer for about five minutes, then let it rest for four to five hours. This jam needs to be cooked in three or four rounds. When it's almost done, add the vanilla sugar — it gives the jam its lovely fragrance and flavor. And that's it. You can stash the fig jam away for winter, or treat yourself to a proper tea party right now.
