Fig and Grape Preserves
by Tante Marie
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a stainless steel pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 40 minutes. Add lemon juice. Ladle the hot fig-grape mixture into clean jars and chill uncovered overnight. The next day, cover each jar with plastic wrap. Keep in the refrigerator. Enjoy on toast or bagels!
Looks so good Gill! They are always great, but a particularly good combination of veg for us this week! Just made a veggie lasagne with the squash, leeks and mushroom. Yum! X
