         Title: Windfall Fig Confiture   
    Categories: Five, Fruits, Preserving   
         Yield: 12 Jars   
       
         4 lb Fresh figs   
         3 c  Sugar   
         1 c  Floral honey; clover, apple   
              - blossom, or wildflower   
         3 sm Organic lemons   
         6    Sprigs fresh thyme   
       
     The windfall - a friend's fig tree - 4 lb of perfectly   
     ripe Brown Turkey figs. A favorite orchardist's clover   
     honey. Aromatic organic lemons. Overgrown thyme in the   
     herb garden.   
        
     I cooked the confiture into a thick jam and jarred it   
     up in 4 oz. jars. It's going to make a great gift at   
     Christmas.   
        
     Pour boiling water over the figs and let stand for 10   
     mins.   
        
     Lift the figs out of the boiling water, stem & quarter.   
     Set aside.   
        
     Wash the lemons well and slice very thin w/a mandoline   
     or very sharp knife.   
        
     In a preserving or other 5 qt or larger nonreactive   
     pan, add figs, sugar, lemons, honey and thyme. Bring   
     to a boil that cannot be stirred down, and boil for   
     10 minutes.   
        
     Pour mixture into a ceramic or glass bowl, cover with   
     parchment, and refrigerate overnight.   
        
     The next day, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce   
     and simmer 45 minutes or longer, until it is aromatic   
     and thickened.   
        
     Remove the thyme sprigs and fill hot jars with hot jam.   
     Wipe the jars, place new lids and finger tighten rings.   
     Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
