Rosemary Fig Jam is simple to make using only a handful of ingredients. The end result is a delicious and decadent rosemary infused fig preserve that pairs well on a charcuterie board, roast pork, or just spread on toast. It’s sweet and tart and absolutely scrumptious.

I don’t know about you, but it’s virtually impossible for me to pass by a container of figs at the market and not buy them.  Costco has had them now for the past few weeks.  Well, my Costco at least.  Anyway, you know how Costco is.  Gigantic size everything….including containers of figs.  So, in an effort to not have a pile of furry figs, I decided to make some rosemary fig jam.

Ingredients you’ll need to make Rosemary Fig Jam

• Ripe Figs – make sure the figs are ripe to get the best flavor for this rosemary fig jam

• Rosemary – use fresh rosemary sprigs for the most optimal flavor
• Lemon – use a lemon zester or mircoplane to zest 1 lemon
• Salt – Kosher salt for flavor. If using table salt or iodized salt, 1/2 the amount in the recipe below.

What are the benefits of making Homemade Rosemary Fig Jam?

Making jams and jellies at home can be a little intimidating, but it really doesn’t have to be. Jams only take a few ingredients like fresh fruit, sugar, lemon, and salt and are easy to modify with other mix-ins, like in this recipe where Port Wine and fresh rosemary make a typical fruit jam much more elegant.

Homemade preserves also make amazing gifts when you’re not sure what to bring to your next baby shower or Super Bowl party. It’s a great hostess gift.

I made up some bruschetta by brushing baguette slices with olive oil and rubbing them with fresh garlic and toasting in the oven for about 5 minutes.  Then I smeared some chevre (goat cheese) and a dollop of Rosemary Fig Jam and LOOK OUT!  I had a hard time stopping….it’s that tasty…..and Easy!!
