Fig and Grape Preserves
by Tante Marie
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a stainless steel pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 40 minutes. Add lemon juice. Ladle the hot fig-grape mixture into clean jars and chill uncovered overnight. The next day, cover each jar with plastic wrap. Keep in the refrigerator. Enjoy on toast or bagels!
I really like the fact that I am encouraged to cook with what arrives in the veg bag, often new, exciting veg. It makes me more adventurous and my meals are healthier based on seasonal ingredients and veg grown naturally, no chemicals.
