Figs that have gone too ripe and sat in the fridge are simmered with sugar to make this preserve, part of Argentine cuisine's waste-cutting jar tradition. Free of nuts and simple in its makeup, it is served on crackers or toast as a mid-meal treat.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the figs

10 min

Quarter the ripe figs and toss them with the sugar and lemon juice.

2

Let it macerate

15 min

Cover the mixture and set it aside for 15 minutes so the figs start releasing their juice.

3

Boil it

30 min

Transfer the mixture to a pan with the cinnamon stick and bring to the boil; once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

4

Jar it

5 min

Remove the cinnamon stick and spoon the jam into clean jars while hot.

Reminder

The riper the figs, the sweeter the result, so you can cut back on the sugar accordingly. Stay by the pan while it boils, as the fig syrup can foam up and boil over.

İncirler çok olgundu diye şekeri biraz azaltmıştım ama reçel yeterince koyulaşmadı, 30 dakika yerine 45 dakika kaynatmak zorunda kaldım. Sonunda tadı güzel oldu ama beklediğimden çok daha uzun sürdü.

Haklısınız, şekeri azaltmak koyulaşma süresini uzatır çünkü şeker suyu bağlamaya yardımcı olur. Bir dahaki sefere limon suyunu biraz artırmanızı öneririm, pektin etkisiyle kıvamı hızlandırır.
