1kh overripe figs, 2kg overripe plums, 2kg of the oddly named "confisuc" -- sugar with citric acid and some sort of setting agent mixed in. The figs worked a treat but the plums seemed too liquid -- but after letting them reduce for a while they set to a texture somewhere between quince paste and sticky toffee. Spreading requires strong bread, a strong hand and a strong knife, though it's quite nice hacked into bite-sized bits and consumed on tangy goat's cheese.The human is a closet glutton for chestnut jam though neither of us knows how it's made. If there aren't any ripe figs left next time we go to the market it will be time to experiment. All suggestions welcome!
