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.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the figs

10 min

Bring the coarsely chopped dried figs to a boil with the water and simmer for 10 minutes until softened.

2

Finish and flavour

5 min

Add the sugar and lemon juice and cook for 5 more minutes, then stir in the orange blossom water once off the heat.

3

Jar and cool

10 min

Transfer the jam to a clean jar while hot, and let it cool for 10 minutes before sealing the lid.

Reminder

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.
