Recipe
Making fig jam with cognac is a delightful and tasty twist on traditional fig jam. Here’s an easy recipe for you to try:
ingredients:
- 2 cups dried figs, stems removed and chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cognac
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- Prepare the Figs:
- Remove the stems from the dried figs and chop them into small pieces.
- Cooking the Figs:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped dried figs and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the figs are softened.
- Sweeten the Jam:
- Add granulated sugar to the softened figs and stir well. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Flavor with Cognac:
- Stir in the cognac, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.
- Check for Consistency:
- To check the jam’s consistency, place a small amount on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when touched, it’s ready. If not, continue simmering and repeat the test as needed.
- Cool and Store:
- Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the jam into sterilized jars and seal them. Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator.
- Serve:
- This fig jam with cognac pairs well with various cheeses, crusty bread, or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy it as a spread or a condiment.
Feel free to adjust the sugar and cognac amounts based on your taste preferences. The addition of cognac adds a rich and warm depth of flavor to the sweet and fruity notes of the fig jam.
