S.M.K Mission Fig Jam
We started making this jam at the request of our favorite Vermont cheese-mongers who wanted a locally made fig jam to accompany cheese plates, but we’ve found plenty of other uses for this gourmet pantry staple; for breakfast on toast, for lunch as a sandwich spread, for dinner as a meat glaze or pizza topping and for dessert as an ice cream topping.Â
You’ll notice the difference in flavor – they are just that good. Â Franciscan missionaries first planted these figs in the San Diego area in the 1700s, creating a mildly sweet flavor with rich, slightly nutty hints. These figs are simply delicious and make a phenomenal jam!
Our homemade jams are made the old fashioned way. Â With no preservatives or jelling additives, these jams thicken naturally with nothing but fruit and sugar, just as Vermonters have been doing for years!
