Alkaline Electric Fig Jam

Ingredients:
1 cup of chopped dried figs
1 cup spring water
1 teaspoon key lime juice
pinch of salt
2-3 tablespoons optional sweetener (agave or date sugar)

Method:
Put the chopped figs and water (and suweetner if you’re adding) in a pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer until the figs are plump and very soft, about 20 minutes. If the water evaporates too much, add just enough to keep the figs simmering.

Turn off the stove and pour the contents of the pot into a food processor. Add lime juice and pinch of salt and puree (carefully, as the contents are very hot). If the fig jam is too thick or chunky, just add more water about a teaspoonful at a time until the consistency is that of a spreadable paste.

Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and store. It will probably keep about three days in the refrigerator.
