Homemade Fig Jam

"Homemade fig jam without pectin: sweet and succulent. A perfect pairing with toast, prosciutto and cheeses. Equally elegant on a charcuterie board as it is on a warm slice of bread. Relatives to the mulberry, figs arrived to the Balkans from Turkey. They’ve nourished people in low deserts for centuries, and graced our earliest myths. If there was a story to be told, our ancestors recounted in under the deep shade of a fig tree. What aren’t figs good for? Consume them fresh, make a fruit salad or add them to a meza platter. Or you can make fig homemade jams, preserves, or candy."
