Ingredients

1 lemon

1kg figs

3 (about 600g) pears, peeled and chopped

1.6kg jam setting sugar

1 cinnamon quill

4 cardamom pods, bruised

muslin

375g puff pastry block, thawed

icing sugar

pinch ground cinnamon

whipped cream

Directions

Peel 4 large strips of peel from the lemons and juice; set aside

Wash and dry the figs and remove the stems, half or quarter figs if they are large.

Combine lemon juice, figs, pears and sugar in a large heavy based saucepan and stir over low heat until sugar has dissolved a little.

Tie spices and lemon strips in a small piece of muslin and add to the fig mixture.

Bring to a rapid boil and boil hard (a rolling boil) for 10 minutes. Reduce heat and boil gently for 20-30 minutes.

Test setting point by dropping a teaspoon of the jam onto a cold saucer. Leave 30 seconds or until it comes to room temperature and push the jam gently with your finger. If it wrinkles slightly then it has reached the setting point.

Remove muslin bag pour into sterilised jars.

To sterilise the jars, either place in a 140°C oven for 25 minutes. Or plunge into boiling water and dry upside on a clean tea towel.

To serve jam, slice puff pastry into thin slices. Roll out lightly and dust in combined icing sugar and cinnamon mix. Cook 1-2 minutes each side in a dry frying pan until golden and crisp.

Makes 3 x 375 ml jars
