In an attempt to collect as many Kurdish recipes as possible before leaving Iraq (that is, I am doing a pre-selection for your here… I don't think there is much appetite for sheep-head stew…), I am now prompting my office staff to come up with the recipes for yummy home-made dishes. So here is another one: fig jam - or as I call it figues confites. Perfect for the season and really easy to make!
Ingredients:
1kg fresh figs
1kg sugar
2L water
Cinnamon sticks (to your liking)
Cardamom pods (whole) (also to your liking)
Lime juice
Preparation:
Fill a cooking pot with the water and add the sugar, cinnamon sticks and cardamom seeds and bring it to the boil. Once the water is boiling, add the figs and cook them for about 2 hours until the syrup starts to thicken. Add lime juice (approximately 1 tsp) and then let it cool down before storing it in jars or pots. Voilà! Best with some cured cheese and some crunchy bread.
