Honeyed Figs With Sweet Red Wine And Lavender Jam Food

FRESH LAVENDAR-FIG JAM

Steps:

• In a food processor place sugar, lavender, and ginger process to make the ginger and lavender into bits. The sugar will become somewhat powdered. Place into a large heavy bottom pot.
• Place the figs and lemon juice and zest into the processor and pulse 5 to 6 times just to a coarse chop. Add to pot with sugar.
• Heating to a slow boil then raise heat to a fast rolling boil for 15 minutes stirring most the time. At this point you`ll see the juice turn vibrant dark red and it is pretty syrupy. Add the pine nuts.
• Spoon into sterilized jars.
• Process for 10 minutes in a hot water bath.
