Fig jam with cinnamon, vanilla and grappa
Alcoholic beverages
Every year I make lots of jams from fruits from my garden. Fig jam, I have found, are not my grandchildren's choice (strawberry and peach are their favourite). So I decided to make an adult version of fig jam - I added vanilla bean, cinnamon stick and Grappa at the very end. I use this jam in fig tarts (under the figs) and also in the simple Italian Crostata. It also goes very well with a mature Pecorino cheese and Gorgonzola! I never exceed 4 1/2 pounds of fruit at a time because I find that the colour doesn't come out as nice. Just don't ask me why, but it's a fact with all my jams!
