Strawberry & Fig Balsamic Jam

By cookism

With fresh figs being in season now, we fig-ure that one of the best ways to utilise this delicious fruit is to make a luscious jam. Paired with strawberries, the jam is decadently rich and gooey with the fig seeds adding texture and crunch—a perfect mainstay for any breakfast table. We simply dig having this awesome spread with ice cream, but knock yourselves out pairing with just about anything you fancy.
