Fig Mostarda Jam

Fig Mostarda Jam is a delightful and tangy condiment that pairs perfectly with a variety of cheeses and charcuterie items. The combination of sweet figs and the slight kick from mustard seeds and powder creates a unique and delicious flavor profile.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh figs, stemmed and quartered
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard seeds
• 1/4 cup dried mustard powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Put the figs, sugar, and white wine vinegar in a big saucepan and heat it to a medium temperature

Once the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer, stir the mixture

Add the salt, cloves, cinnamon, mustard powder, and mustard seeds and turn the heat down to low

Toss to thoroughly mix in all the ingredients

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of jam, about 30 to 40 minutes

Take it off the stove and give it some time to cool

Spoon the Fig Mostarda Jam into sterile jars, then screw the lid on tightly

Before putting the jam in the refrigerator, let it cool completely

Present it alongside cheeses, cured meats, and crackers on your upcoming charcuterie platter
