Simple Orange Scented Fig Jam

If you love figs then you know what I mean when figs have a short growing season, but luckily dried figs are easier than ever to find. With this recipe you can enjoy figs any time of year! This simple jam is so easy, it only takes about 30 minutes to make from start to finish, and only has three ingredients. Using dried figs makes it super thick and jam like, while spicing it up with orange makes it ready for the holidays! This jam is delicious on whole grain Ezekiel bread topped of with winter herbs. For a party, serve it alongside some hard cheese such as manchego. You can also use this jam to fill up some thumbprint cookies (which I will probably post around Christmas time). 

Figs, although they may not look like it, are packed with fiber, higher than most other fruits! Another reason why I love figs is that they combine so well with many different flavors and textures! You can combine them with herbs for a savory effect, or with honey and salt for a decadent sweet and salty treat, there are so many options. This recipe involves orange, since I just love how figs combine so well with citrus flavors. Another great option would be subbing in chai tea and vanilla for the orange.

Simple Orange Scented Fig Jam

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped dried figs (any variety will work but make sure they are good quality) 

¾ cup fresh squeezed orange juice

1 tsp orange zest 

herbs (optional) 

Instructions:

Chop the figs and add them to a large pot. Add in ½ cup orange juice and zest then bring to a boil. Simmer the figs until they begin to soften (about 15 minutes) adding more orange juice as needed. Once the figs are soft, add the mixture to a high speed blender and blend until very smooth, or leave a bit chunky if desired. Enjoy on a slice of whole grain toast with hard cheese topped off with herbs to add a savory note!
