Jammin’! Spicy Fig Orange Marmalade
This recipe is adapted from Simply Recipes.
I love figs but I’m the only one in the house who does - so when a pack turned quickly to almost over-ripe I searched for something to make that didn’t involve pastry. The really surprising thing about this recipe is that is was so quick - cut fruit, mix in sugar and spices - walk away for a bit while the sugars work their magic, and then zap it in the microwave.
To be honest for the delicious result the amount of work you have to put in is almost criminal….
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups diced fresh figs (6-10 figs, depending on the size of the figs)
½ cup seeded, peeled orange, diced
1 ½ cups of sugar (reduce if you want, though it won’t set as well)
1 ½ teaspoons grated orange peel
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon butter
Method:
Put all of the ingredients into a microwaveable bowl* (I used glass pyrex), mix them up well and then walk away and leave them for at least half an hour. Things will start to get nice and mushy! Maceration baby!
Then microwave on high for 8 minutes. Take out and stir. The mix will probably starting to get a bit jelly like. This is good! Put back in a nuke for another 3 minutes, then take out and stir again. Repeat this until the mix becomes thicker.
At roughly 15 minutes you should be done. Grab a spoon and drip some - if it makes a drop shape before it drips it should be ready. Put in clean jars to keep in the fridge, or sterilized jars to keep on the shelf.
To be honest I doubt you’ll be needing to worry too much about keeping it for long.
On toast, or as a dip for cheeses, or baked in biscuits - lots of tasty options!

We had figs wrapped in bacon last night as a starter and baked until bacon crispy and figs soft - so yum!!
I know you are not a bacon eater, but boy was this yum!!
Figs are food of the gods.
