Fig Jam
To a saucepan combine, dried figs, 1 cup apple cider or juice, 1/4 cup water, and juice of 1 lemon. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer on low until liquid has reduced and jam thickens, about 15-20 minutes.
Once thickened, add in 1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup if using. Adjust to taste - you may want to add additional sweetener or may like as-is. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Simmer for 5-10 additional minutes.
Remove from heat and carefully transfer to a blender. Plus until jam is smooth. Allow jam to cool and continue to thicken before storing in the refrigerator. Will keep for up to 2-weeks.
