Something to do with figs

modom said:

I mixed equal amounts of dried figs and feta -- both chopped. To this
I added lemon juice and zest, pepper, a little chopped fresh rosemary.
I stuffed the mix under the skin of chicken thighs, splashed some
balsamic vinegar on them, and grilled them skin side up till they were
done.

I hate you. LOL

FIG-SESAME JAM
This jam is tasty on toast alone, or with some Manchego cheese.
Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 2 1/4 hr

1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
2 lb firm-ripe fresh figs, trimmed and quartered
2 (3- by 1-inch) strips fresh lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Simmer sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan, stirring, until sugar
is dissolved. Gently stir in figs, zest, and lemon juice and simmer,
uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick and syrupy, 1 3/4 to 2
hours. Gently stir in sesame seeds.

Cooks' notes:
· Jam keeps, covered and chilled, 1 month.

· Toast seeds in a dry heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring
until fragrant and a shade or two darker. Or, toast in a shallow baking
pan in a 350°F oven, 5 to 10 minutes.

Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
