Ingredients




1 pound Fresh figs
1 pound Sugar
2 cups Apple cider or rasberry vinegar
2 tablespoons Whole spices, such as cloves,
Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardomon
3 Black peppercorns, (up to 4)
teaspoon Powdered ginger

Preparation

1 Wash figs. 2 Boil vinegar, sugar and spices briefly in a pot. 3 Add the figs and cook on a low flame until the fruit is soft (about 15 minutes). 4 Remove just the fruit and place in a canning jar, if available. If not a regular jar is fine. 5 If the mixture is thin, boil until it thickens. Pour over the figs in the jar and seal tightly. 6 If it is not hermetically sealed (as in a canning jar), then refrigerate. Allow for at least a week to pass for optimum taste.
