Maison Cote edible made in Vancouver figs



It is figs season
Perfect to make Fig pies or Fig balsamic Spread
Here is my recipe for the Fig spread

Combine in saucepan: 8 ounces chopped black mission figs (fresh are best but they’re not in season now), 3/4 cup Organic cane sugar and 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar.

-Add a sachet (bundle of aromatics wrapped in cheesecloth) containing 1 bay leaf, 10 peppercorns, 1 smashed garlic clove and 3 sprigs of thyme or 1 small sprig of rosemary .

-Bring ingredients to a gentle simmer: cook 10-15 minutes, add tap water along the way until you reach a desired consistency (about 1/2 cup).

Finish: take pot off of the heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
perfect to add on a creamy cheese or with an antipasto
