Red Wine and Fig Jam

 

24 black mission figs, diced into eights

2 cups dry red wine

2 cups water

juice of 1/2 a lemon

3/4 cup sugar

 

Chop your figs. Finer than this, actually. They swell up.

Put everything in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a

simmer.

Cook uncovered over low heat until thick, about 1 to 2 hours. Stir it

occasionally. That?s it.

Makes about 2 to 2 to 2 1/2 cups.,
