Fig Jam

Methods

• Heat sugar with 3 cups water in a deep non-stick pan on high heat till you get a syrup.
• Add fig pieces carefully, since the syrup is very hot. Mix and add lemon juice. Boil on high heat for 5-6 minutes or the figs absorb more than half the syrup.
• Once the mixture thickens, add walnuts, pinenuts, anis seed powder and sesame seeds and mix.
• Take gelatin in a small bowl, add about 2-3 tbsps hot water and mix till gelatin dissolves.
• Add this to the jam mixture and allow it to thicken.
• Cool and store in a sterilized jar.
