• 3 1/2 cups sugar (or Flavored Sugar or Splenda or Lavender Sugar With Vanilla)
• 1 tablespoon candied ginger
• 2 tablespoons fresh lavender blossoms
• 1 3/4 lbs fresh figs, rinsed
• 1 lemon, juice and zest of

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor place sugar, lavender, and ginger process to make the ginger and lavender into bits. The sugar will become somewhat powdered. Place into a large heavy bottom pot.

Place the figs and lemon juice and zest into the processor and pulse 5 to 6 times just to a coarse chop. Add to pot with sugar.

Heating to a slow boil then raise heat to a fast rolling boil for 15 minutes stirring most the time. At this point you`ll see the juice turn vibrant dark red and it is pretty syrupy. Add the pine nuts.

Spoon into sterilized jars.

Process for 10 minutes in a hot water bath.
