I’ve eaten the jam quite a few ways, but my favorites are served with a baguette and a sharp cheese like cheddar, mixed in with plain yogurt and sliced almonds or in a sandwich with plain old peanut butter.

Could this gorgeous recipe be adjusted so that I could use fresh figs?
Was ;there a response to Meg’s question? I’d be interested if adjusting it to use fresh figs as well.
Thanks.
