A delectable way to savor summer flavors in the dead of winter is with Fig Newton Butter Jam. This jam, which is made with sugar, dried figs, a little lemon, and vanilla, is the ideal balance of sweetness and sourness. Savor the taste of sunshine all year long by spreading it on your morning toast or using it as a filling for pastries and desserts.
Ingredients: 2 cups dried figs, stems removed. 1 cup water. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup lemon juice. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: In a medium saucepan, combine dried figs and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the figs are soft and the liquid has reduced by half. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the fig mixture to a food processor or blender, add granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined. Pour the fig mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for another 10-15 minutes or until the jam thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the Fig Newton Butter Jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly, and refrigerate. Enjoy on toast, in sandwiches, or as a delightful topping for your favorite desserts!
