Instructions

1. If necessary, remove the stalks from the figs, then chop the dried fruits into small pieces. Soak overnight with the wine.
2. Then heat with the orange peel and simmer until the wine is absorbed or evaporated. In the meantime, roast the walnuts without fat, then add them to the jam. Bring to the boil, pour into sterilized twist-off jars while still hot, close the lid and let cool upside down.
3. The amount turns into about 2 glasses of 450 g or several smaller glasses. Since this jam cannot be preserved with additional sugar (and whether the fruit`s own sugar is sufficient, I just don`t know), it is more suitable for immediate consumption and should also be stored in a cool place.
4. It tastes best on dark bread, e.g., Whole grain bread with sunflower seeds or something. But it also tastes great on heavily seasoned Christmas bread or with wholemeal pancakes with a little vanilla quark or yoghurt.
5. Because the ingredients are always available, this jam is also ideal as a last-minute gift (e.g. for Christmas or something).
