Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 16 truffles, serving size: 2 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups dried black mission figs, or other dried figs (about 8 ounces)
1/4 cup crystallized ginger (about 2 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey
2 1/2 ounces dark chocolate (60 to 70 percent cocoa solids), chopped

Steps:

  • Remove the stems from the figs and discard. Put the figs, ginger, cinnamon and honey in a food processor and process for about 45 seconds, until the ingredients are finely chopped and begin to stick together.
  • Roll the fig mixture with your hands into heaping teaspoon-sized balls and set them on a baking sheet or plate lined with waxed paper.
  • Place a small bowl over a saucepan, containing barely simmering water, over low heat Make sure the water is at least 2 inches from the bottom of the bowl. Place half the chocolate in the bowl and stir until it is melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the remaining chocolate. Stir until all the chocolate is melted. Remove the bowl containing the chocolate from the pan.
  • Roll the fig balls into the melted chocolate 1 or 2 at a time, until they are all covered. Place them back on the waxed paper and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 15 minutes. Serve at room temperature.

FIG AND HONEY JAM WITH WALNUTS



Fig and Honey Jam with Walnuts image

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.

  • Place the walnuts in a medium pan and toast on the stove over medium heat. Stir with a spoon or swirl the pan to prevent them from burning. When they give off their strong aroma, take the walnuts from the stove. Spread them on a baking sheet and let them cool before grounding. If you like you can toast the walnuts in the preheated oven at 350°F(177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the walnuts in a single layer. Toast until it gives the fragrance. It may take up to 10 minutes depending on the size of the walnuts. Check your oven after 4-5 minutes and give a stir with a spoon. When they give their aroma they’ll be ready.
  • Remove the stems of the dried figs. Cut them into pieces, this step makes the machine works easily. If your food processor is not too powerful, you can cut into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Add in the chopped dried figs and mix until they form a paste. The mixture shouldn’t be dry so you can decide if the mixture needs water. If needed, start with 1 teaspoon of water, and then mix again. Then add more water if needed. (Even if your figs are not dry but your machine is not too powerful, a little bit water helps it to process easily.)

  • If your figs are rather firm and dry, soak them covered in hot water for 5 minutes, then drain and press the water out before starting. If your figs are soft and plump, no need to soak. In a food processor or high-powered blender with a small blender jar, add the figs, honey, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons hot water. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides and adding up to 2 tablespoons more hot water, as needed. I use exactly 3½ tablespoons, but this will depend on how juicy your figs are to begin with. The puree should be totally smooth, thick and not liquidy.
  • Transfer your fig puree to a bowl and fold in the chopped walnuts. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to scoop perfectly rounded mounds with a flat bottom onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. If your mixture is too soft, freeze it for 20 minutes before scooping. Once you've made all your truffle mounds, place the baking pan in the freezer for at least an hour or up to several days.
  • When the truffle mounds are chilled, temper the chocolate. Fill a small saucepan with a few inches of water and set a heat-proof bowl over the top so a large portion of the bowl is touching the water. Being careful not to get any water in your bowl, add 2/3 (or about 5 ounces) of the dark chocolate. Cook, undisturbed until a little more than half has melted, then stir until the rest melts. Cook for a few minutes longer until the chocolate stings a little when touched on your wrist or just below your lower lip (a tip from The Kitchn!).
  • Remove the bowl from the heat (again being careful not to get any water in it) and add the reserved 3 ounces of chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate feels just a bit cooler than your body temperature when touched to your wrist or below your lower lip.
