Strawberry Fig Balsamic Jam Recipe 475

Steps:

• Put the strawberries in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large saute pan along with the sugar, lemon juice, balsamic and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, 8 to 9 minutes. Transfer the jam to a heat-resistant container and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for up to 10 days.

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a bowl. Drizzle vinegar over strawberries, and sprinkle with sugar. Stir gently to combine. Cover, and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour but not more than 4 hours. Just before serving, grind pepper over berries.

Steps:

• 1. Cut figs and strawberries into small chunks. 2. Combine figs, strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. 3.Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Add in balsamic vinegar to taste. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes or until the mixture is reduced and coats the back of a spoon. 4. Transfer jam into a sterilised jar, allowing it to cool completely. Seal and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the jam: Combine the strawberries, sugar, vinegar and vanilla extract in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the strawberries soften and the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove the jam from the pan to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
• Make the bark: Spread the yogurt on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a thin layer (about 1/3-inch thick). Dollop 1/2 cup jam over the yogurt and use a wooden skewer or tip of a knife to swirl. Sprinkle the fruit and chocolate shavings on top. Place in the freezer and freeze until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Once frozen, break into pieces.

Steps:

• Thirty minutes to an hour before serving, combine the strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside at room temperature.
• Place a serving of the strawberries in a bowl with a scoop of ice cream on top and dust lightly with lemon zest.

Steps:

• Combine the figs, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and a sachet in a large saucepan and attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring to break up the large pieces of fig, keeping a chunky consistency, until the jam reaches 220 degrees F. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the sachet and stir in the lemon juice to taste. Spoon the jam into a canning jar or other storage container, cover, and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Combine sugar and vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered until the sugar is dissolved.
• Add strawberries and thyme to the sugar mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove thyme sprigs. Allow jam to cool and store in the fridge in an airtight container or transfer hot jam to sterilized jars and seal.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together chopped figs and half the sugar. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Transfer figs and sugar to a small stainless or enameled saucepan. (The pan should not be more than twice the volume of the fruit and sugar mixture.) Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula. When mixture comes to a boil, scrape back into bowl and cover with plastic. Let cool, then refrigerate overnight.
• Scrape fig mixture back into the saucepan. Have a skimmer and a bowl of water handy. Place a small plate in the refrigerator. Bring fruit back to a boil over medium heat, stirring. When mixture comes to a boil, stir in remaining sugar, the lemon juice and the balsamic vinegar. Boil, stirring, until mixture is thick but not too concentrated, 10 to 15 minutes. Skim off any foam that rises, dipping the skimmer into the bowl of water to remove the foam.
• To test for doneness, remove plate from refrigerator and place a spoonful of the jam on it. Wait about 20 seconds and tilt the plate. The jam should only run slightly, and slowly. Boil a little longer if it seems too runny, but take care not to cook it until too thick. It needs to be spreadable.
• Transfer to a bowl or a sterilized jar. Cover and let cool, then refrigerate.
