Red Wine and Fig Jam
Jan 31, 2007 by kiteless | 1 Comments| Share it:
Intro
I made this first at Christmas to go with a pork loin and it’s really delicious. It has a great deep, fig flavor that’s not too sweet. Make sure to use a dry red wine. If you use a sweeter-tasting red, then decrease the amount of sugar by a few TB. This is good served with pork, cheese and bread, and I bet it would be good over ice cream or pound cake.

Oh wow, this looks absolutely delicious. I love finding different things to spice up cheese and crackers. My girlfriends and I love to get together and have a glass of wine with some cheese and crackers. This will be a great recipe to use to add something different. Thanks for sharing!
