last august i became wildly nostalgic for my italian mum, emilias' fig jam
so i searched and researched and came up with my perfect fig jam for nice poets.
2 pounds of fresh juicy figs (i like black mission)
about 2 cups of water
1 pound superfine (caster) sugar
juice and zest of 1 lemon
large pinch of cinnamon
clean and boil ball jars
clean, trim and chop figs
boil water, add sugar, stir til dissolved
add figs, lemon and cinnamon and cook down, stirring quite often
i prefer to cook it down to about a quarter of its mass
fill jars, put lids on and boil again
enjoy with fancy butter and fresh bread
