Ingredients

  • 18 ounces fresh figs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 lemon (zest and juice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 ounces butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  1. Roughly cut washed figs into quarters or medium-sized chunks.

  2. Add figs, lemon zest and juice, the 1 1/4 cups sugar and a tsp vanilla into a pot and transfer to medium heat. Cook until preserves have reduced in half, stirring constantly to avoid the jam to burn in the bottom of the pan. Let cool completely and transfer to a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag at hand a ziplock bag will do. This ensures an even amount of filling in every bite. If you have neither at hand you can always wing it with a spoon.
