FIG AND HONEY JAM WITH WALNUTS
I recently made a meat and cheese board for my family and wanted to make a jam/preserve with it that we normally wouldn't have. Figs came to mind and, after searching around a little and getting a few ideas, I came up with this. It was such a huge hit that I decided to share it. I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as we did! It will last for up to 30 days if you do not can it.

Steps:
- Use a sharp knife to mark an "X" on the top of each fig, being careful not to cut more than 3/4 of the way down the fruit.
- Spread open each fig 'blossom', to expose the pink center. Arrange the figs on a platter.
- Use a small spoon to fill each fig with marmalade, Greek yogurt, and honey. Dust with cinnamon.
- Finish with small chunks of herbed chevre, walnut pieces, and fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
- Good with Carr's whole wheat crackers or baguette slices, for a more substantial snack.
- VARIATION: Substitute creme fraiche for the yogurt, mascarpone cheese with lemon zest for the herbed chevre, and green pistachios instead of walnuts. Drizzle with honey and dust with cinnamon -- yum!

Tips:
- Choose ripe figs for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs, but be sure to soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before using.
- Use a variety of nuts in your jam for added flavor and texture. Walnuts are a classic choice, but you can also use almonds, pecans, or pistachios.
- Don't overcook the jam. It should be thick and syrupy, but not too stiff. A candy thermometer is a helpful tool for gauging the doneness of the jam.
- Store the jam in a clean, airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. You can also freeze the jam for up to 6 months.
