Mymouné Sundried Fig Preserves

Product variants

This dense, intensely flavored Lebanese Sundried Fig Jam is perfectly balanced and only moderately sweet. It consists of 75% fruit, so you can taste all the richness of the figs. We like how the decadent, warm sweetness is accented and made more interesting by subtle savory notes from aniseed, while the sesame seeds in the jam enhance the figs' natural texture. This thick, decadent fig jam also has chunks of fruit for a more satisfying bite. Spread it with butter or ricotta on toast or in a sandwich. You can also feature it on a cheese tray, paired with creamy goat cheese, or even add a little to a meat stew to balance heavier flavors. Or smear a little between layers of carrot cake along with cardamom-scented cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients: Figs, sugar, sesame seeds, aniseed, and fresh lemon juice

Spread these fig preserves with butter or ricotta on toast or in a sandwich-- especially with homemade roasted meats like turkey, pork or ham. Fig preserves are a classic addition to an elegant cheese or charcuterie platter, where the floral sweetness balances the savory and rich flavors of any type of cheese or cured meat. For dessert, smear a little between layers of carrot cake along with cardamom-scented cream cheese frosting. The same fruity-floral qualities that make figs pair so well with charcuterie also make it an excellent option for pairing with roasted meats. Try adding fig preserves to a finishing glaze for your next roast chicken or turkey, or a slow-roasted pork shoulder.

Artisanal Preserves from Ain el Kabou, Lebanon

Started by two sisters during the Lebanese Civil War as an effort to support their home village, Mymouné makes all of its products by hand using traditional methods—from cooking fresh local fruit in small batches to hand-filling jars of preserves. You'll never get any artificial colors or preservatives, just the pure, vibrant flavors of the Middle East. Try this syrup over yogurt, ice cream, waffles, or pancakes, or as a delicious flavoring for sparkling water. It's also wonderful as a soak for cakes or whisked into glazes.
