Fig Spread

I bought a big bag of organic dried fig from Costco and wanted to figure out some new recipes to use them.  I found this one and absolutely love it.

Fig and Honey Spread

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups finely chopped dried figs
• 2 navel oranges, finely chopped
• 1 cup sweet red wine
• 1 cup honey
• 2 cinnamon sticks

PROCEDURE

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened and jam-like. Cool and store in refrigerator until needed. Spread on sliced challah or toasted bagels.

*I ended up throwing this in my food processor once it was done and chopped it up a little more so that it didn't have big chunks in it.  I stored it in a mason jar in the refrigerator and it has lasted a long time.

Yields: 3 cups;
Serves: 24 (2 tablespoons each);
