Simmer the figs
10 minBring the coarsely chopped dried figs to a boil with the water and simmer for 10 minutes until softened.
Made by briefly simmering dried figs and finishing them with orange blossom water, this jam reflects a quick method common in Tunisian winter kitchens. It can be made year-round with pantry-staple dried figs, no fresh fruit required.
Bring the coarsely chopped dried figs to a boil with the water and simmer for 10 minutes until softened.
Add the sugar and lemon juice and cook for 5 more minutes, then stir in the orange blossom water once off the heat.
Transfer the jam to a clean jar while hot, and let it cool for 10 minutes before sealing the lid.
Chop the figs coarsely for a chunkier jam, or blitz it with a blender at the end for a smooth texture. Add the orange blossom water right at the end of cooking; boiling it off loses the fragrance.
Portakal çiçeği suyunu bulamadım, eklemeden yaptım; kokusunu tam yakalayamadım ama reçel yine de güzel kıvamındaydı. Onsuz yaptığınızda tadı gerçekten çok mu değişiyor, denemeye devam etmeli miyim yoksa mutlaka bulmam mı gerekiyor?
Portakal çiçeği suyu asıl kokuyu verir ama onsuz da reçel güzel olur, yalnızca o hafif çiçeksi nota eksik kalır. İsterseniz yerine az bir tutam tarçın deneyebilirsiniz, farklı ama yine hoş bir sonuç verir.
