HONEYED FIGS WITH SWEET RED WINE AND LAVENDER JAM
No Pectin jam. This can be spread on you favorite bread/ toast! It is a thinner jam which makes it great to glaze a chicken, duck, pork roast at the end of cooking. Or to serve as a condiment with the choice of roasted or grilled meats. Top a slice of cheese cake or scoop of ice cream with some for an elegant dessert.

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.

- Lavender adds a floral touch: Lavender adds a delicate floral flavor to the dish. Use fresh lavender if you can find it, or use dried lavender buds.
