Print Recipe

A small batch, quick-cooking fig jam infused with fresh rosemary and sweetened naturally with honey. Perfect for spreading on toast or pairing with cheeses, this jam offers a sophisticated yet approachable flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh figs, chopped (about 300 grams)
  • 1/4 cup raw honey (about 85 grams)
  • 1 small sprig fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 15 ml)
  • 1/4 cup water (about 60 ml)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry about 2 cups of fresh figs. Remove stems and chop into roughly 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  2. Strip most leaves off 1 small sprig of fresh rosemary, leaving a few attached for aroma.
  3. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine chopped figs, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup raw honey, and the rosemary sprig.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt if using.
  5. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Once bubbling, reduce to low and simmer gently for 20 to 25 minutes, allowing figs to break down but remain chunky.
  6. Monitor consistency; if too runny, cook a few more minutes while stirring to prevent sticking or burning.
  7. Remove and discard the rosemary sprig. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice if needed.
  8. Let the jam cool slightly, then transfer to a clean jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

Use fresh rosemary for best flavor; dried rosemary can be used but may taste bitter if cooked too long. For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. To achieve a smoother texture, mash figs lightly during the last 5 minutes of cooking or use an immersion blender. Skim foam off the top during simmering for clearer jam. Store refrigerated up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
