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.                From: http://www.food52.com                Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives               MMMMM              ...
