Title: Windfall Fig Confiture
Categories: Five, Fruits, Preserving
Yield: 12 Jars

4 lb Fresh figs
3 c Sugar
1 c Floral honey; clover, apple
- blossom, or wildflower
3 sm Organic lemons
6 Sprigs fresh thyme

The windfall - a friend's fig tree - 4 lb of perfectly
ripe Brown Turkey figs. A favorite orchardist's clover
honey. Aromatic organic lemons. Overgrown thyme in the
herb garden.

I cooked the confiture into a thick jam and jarred it
up in 4 oz. jars. It's going to make a great gift at
Christmas.

Pour boiling water over the figs and let stand for 10
mins.

Lift the figs out of the boiling water, stem & quarter.
Set aside.

Wash the lemons well and slice very thin w/a mandoline
or very sharp knife.

In a preserving or other 5 qt or larger nonreactive
pan, add figs, sugar, lemons, honey and thyme. Bring
to a boil that cannot be stirred down, and boil for
10 minutes.

Pour mixture into a ceramic or glass bowl, cover with
parchment, and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce
and simmer 45 minutes or longer, until it is aromatic
and thickened.

Remove the thyme sprigs and fill hot jars with hot jam.
Wipe the jars, place new lids and finger tighten rings.
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
