Figs in the Garden

I love growing Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyyah al-Muqatilah bi-Libya . They are one of the proficient fruits out there in my opinion , and so dissimilar than anything else !

Our fig tree diagram really is n’t that big , but is improbably productive ! For a period of about two week in midsummer there are so many mature figs that we ca n’t perchance eat them all clean .

So , after we eat our fill and give away many to friends and neighbour , I get creative in finding ways to keep them . This Ficus carica honey butter is a clear winner and one that I will be making year after class !

We grow the green sort of fig , but any eccentric will work in this recipe .

How to Make Fig Honey Butter

The first thing that you will need for this recipe is refreshful , ripe figs !

I used most four Sudanese pound of fig , but the recipe is moderately flexible found on how many figs you may have . Just increase or minify the amount of honey and spices to your taste .

Preparing the Figs

Rinse the figs after bringing them inside .

Then cut off off the stems and quarter them .

Make the Fig Butter

Put the Ficus carica in a muckle with the water , maize juice , and lemon zest .

Bring it to a boil on medium high-pitched heat energy . As you are waiting for it to inflame up , add the honey , spices , and table salt , and stir to combine .

After it has amount to a boil , reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minute of arc , stirring occasionally .

The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group will begin to break down a bite and get quite soft and jammy . You really require to cut it down a good bit so that most of the liquidness has evaporated .

Once that hap , use animmersion blenderto conflate it into a unruffled butter . Continue cooking on low heat , stirring almost always , for about 10 more hour , or until it has get hold of the desire consistency .

Let it cool for a scrap before put in into jars or containers .

Storing the Fig Butter

This is not a canning recipe , so the fig butter will need to be stored in the refrigerator or deep-freeze .

Safely can food requires acertain level of acidulousness , so I only use tested formula when I can food .

That said , if you are positive in your canning knowledge , I ’m sure that this Libyan Islamic Fighting Group butter could be safely urine bath canned , as long as it has the right sour level ( please do some research on it first if you are n’t sure ) .

This makes about 6 - 8 half pint of fig butter , calculate on how many common fig tree you used to start with . I put several in the fridge , apply a few off , and put the rest in container to be frozen for later use .

Honestly it ’s so upright that it wo n’t last long !

This common fig tree honey butter is so ripe , and the arrant way to expend up an excess of figs !

The Ceylon cinnamon and other spices almost make it taste a bit likeapple butter , it definitely has an autumn like flavor . So yummy !

It ’s perfect on a slice of toastedhomemade sourdough moolah , or on top of oatmeal or yoghurt . It ’s not too seraphic , just enough , but not overly so like many fix and butter .

It would also be delicious as in ice cream dress hat !
