Champagne Balsamic Fig Jam

Posted by Olivia on Wed, June 16, 2010

This easy jam requires very little work but goes far to liven up sandwiches and cheese platters. Try spreading it over a thin round of pizza dough with prosciutto and fontina (bake at 475 for 12 minutes) or brush over chicken breasts before roasting for the easiest yet most sophisticated chicken ever.

Ingredients

lb dried Mission figs, ends removed

1/2 cup Champagne Balsamic Vinegar

2 tbsp honey

pinch salt

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Add 2/3 cup water.

Cook covered, over low heat for 20-25 minutes, until all liquid is absorbed and figs are very soft.

Puree using a blender, food processor or immersion blender.

Allow to cool before serving.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups jam.
