We love these thick, spreadable fig preserves, made from figs that are organically grown on the Clif Family Farm in California’s Napa Valley. They have a lovely hint of acidity from the addition of lemon, which keeps the flavor from being too cloying. With a pleasant texture that doesn’t give you a mouthful of seeds, it’s a wonderful add-on to a cheese board but also delicious treated as a breakfast jam or spread on sandwiches.
They’re actually a mass of inverted flowers that are pollinated from the inside. Originally cultivated in the Middle East, their primary purpose was as a sweetener before sugar. Because of their short growing season and delicate nature, they’re often dried or added in preserves, making them a more affordable option than their freshly grown counterparts.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Pair with a charcuterie or cheese board. We also love it on these Pizzas with Pancetta, Fig Jam and Blue Cheese (just replace the jam with these preserves) or added to the marinade in this Pork Tenderloins with Fig-Olive Relish.
