Fig Jam and Black Grapes: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound of fresh figs, stems removed and chopped
• 1 cup of black grapes, halved and deseeded
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine figs, black grapes, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves, and the fruit releases its juices.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the jam thickens, stir frequently for about 30-40 minutes. (Use a spatula to skim off any foam that forms on top.)
3. Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool before stirring in the cinnamon and vanilla extract.
4. Once the jam has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight or until ready to use. Enjoy your delicious and gourmet fig jam with black grapes!
