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.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Wash the figs. Pierce each fig 2 to 3 times with the tip of a paring knife. (This is to allow the pickling brine to permeate the fruit.)
- Put the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, ginger, allspice, cloves, cardamom pods, and bay leaf into a large pot over high heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the figs.
- When the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer the figs in the liquid for 20 minutes.
- Add the honey and apple cider vinegar to the other ingredients, stirring gently to dissolve the honey but not break up the figs. Raise the heat to high and bring the liquid back to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the figs start to appear translucent, about another 20 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the figs carefully into clean pint or half-pint canning jars. It is not necessary to sterilize the jars for this recipe. Pour the hot liquid the figs were cooked in over the fruit, leaving half an inch of headspace between the surface of the food and the rims of the jars. Keep in mind that if you include the whole spices in the jars along with the figs, the spice flavor will intensify in storage. You can strain out the smaller spices but add one of the cinnamon sticks to each jar as an attractive garnish.
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp dishcloth or paper towel. Screw on the canning lids.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1. Lightly oil a 71⁄2cm deep, 25cm round cake tin, and line it with a double layer of baking parchment.
- Mix the dried fruits, ginger and syrup, Cointreau, spices and lemon zest. Put the olive oil, sugar and eggs in a bowl, whisk together until light and fluffy. Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture and tip in the fruit. Fold and stir together well.
- Spoon the mixture into the cake tin. Bake in the centre of the oven for 2-21⁄2 hrs, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover with foil if the cake begins to over-brown. Take from the oven and leave to cool in the tin. Remove, leaving the baking parchment in place until you decorate.
- For the topping: warm the jam and Cointreau together until the jam is liquid, allow to cool. Arrange the fruit on the cake and brush with the jam.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring the sugar and 1 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (it should be large enough to hold all the figs). Stir as needed to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the half of a cinnamon stick and whatever other spices you choose to use (or all of them!) and simmer the syrup for about 10 minutes.
- Trim off and discard the stems from the figs.
- Put the figs in the syrup. Simmer about 5 minutes. Don't cook them too long, or they will completely fall apart.
- Remove the figs from the syrup and let the figs and syrup cool separately for about 15 minutes (if you leave the figs in, they will soften and start to fall apart a bit, so if that sounds good, leave them in!).
- Once slightly cooled off, strain the syrup, discard the spices, and pour the syrup back over the figs.

AUBERGE FIG AND GINGER JAM - CONFITURE
We have a wonderful fig tree in our back garden, and this year I cannot keep up with all the fruit! We have had figs in salads, baked figs, figs and cheese - I have made fig chutney, bottled figs and figs in Armagnac...finally, I thought up this idea for a jam, as I think figs and ginger go so well together. It is delicious - and such a wonderful rich colour! Not only is it wonderful spread on toast or bread, but it is lovely dolloped on ice cream and hot desserts, or for steamed puddings! You need to use fresh figs for this recipe - you don't get the same results with dried figs.

Steps:
- Put the figs, sugar and ground ginger into a large non-metallic bowl, cover and leave for 6-8 hours.
- Just before you are ready to make your jam, warm and sterilise your jam jars and jam pot covers or lids - prepare jars by washing in hot soapy water and leaving to dry and warm in a cool oven - 130C/250F/Gas ½ for 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the figs and sugar to a large saucepan or preserving pan, add the apple, crystallised ginger, lemons and water. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the fruit is soft and setting point is reached.
- Remove the jam from the heat and leave to cool for 20-25 minutes. Pour into the warm jam jars and cover/seal straight away.
- Label and store in a cool dark place for 2-3 weeks to allow the flavours to develop.

- Fig and Rosemary Focaccia with Pecorino. Chef Marco Canora makes this focaccia with freshly milled, small-batch whole-wheat flour. The grain's mild nuttiness marries beautifully with plump dried figs, and Pecorino Romano provides a great salty contrast to the fruit's sweetness.
- Gorgonzola, Fig, and Pancetta Pizza. Since this pizza has a lot going on — from creamy cheese to sweet figs — pair it with a refreshing lager, like Tasmania's James Boag's.
- Chicken with Port and Figs. Dried figs are poached in port to make a luscious Portuguese-inspired sauce. Ruby port provides the best color, but tawny will also taste good.
- Raspberry and Fig Cake. "I snagged this dessert from my Scandinavian grandmother," says chef Mehmet Gürs. "She used a wood-burning oven, a cast-iron skillet, and fresh island berries."
- Fig Jam. You can whip up this delicious jam in under an hour with just three ingredients. For a jam with a bit more complexity, try the variation that calls for white port and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
- Figgy Orange Bitters. Fragrant fig-orange bitters are an elegant way to elevate your fall cocktails. The bark, roots, and other more esoteric ingredients used to make bitters can be found at herbal apothecaries.
- Honeyed Fig Crostatas. Forget the figgy pudding; for your holiday bash this year, make these party-perfect fig crostatas. Your guests will surely think the world a merry and bright place.
- Fig and Prosciutto Flatbreads. This flatbread is topped with sticky-sweet fig jam, pungent Gorgonzola cheese, and salty prosciutto. A shortcut to making it: Use store-bought pizza dough instead of homemade.
- Fig and Caramel Nut Tart. Rich, barely bitter caramel, deeply toasted nuts, and chewy figs combine in a buttery crust for a dessert designed for pairing with Madeira.
- Grilled Wagyu Rib Eye with Roasted Fig Miso. Chefs Niki Nakayama and Carole Iida-Nakayama give tender, marbled grilled Wagyu a hit of savory, lightly sweet flavor with roasted fig miso sauce.
