How to Make Honeyed Figs With Sweet Red Wine And Lavender Jam
- Combine 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of dried culinary lavender in a coffee grinder. Grind until the lavender is finely pulverized and the sugar is slightly powdered.
- Transfer the lavender sugar mixture to a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Add 1 pound of fresh figs to a food processor. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and pulse 5-6 times until coarsely chopped. Do not over-process.
- Add the chopped figs, 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup sweet red wine (like Pinot Noir or Merlot), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest to the pot with the lavender sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, then increase the heat to high and maintain a rolling boil for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- The jam will thicken and the juice will turn a vibrant red. If it's too thin, continue boiling for a few more minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully ladle the jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure safe preservation. Let cool completely before storing.
