Fig Jams

See the picture Black Figs Jam

Very " rustique ", inspired by the old recipes of our grandmas; the taste of terroir, the aromas of Provence.
The texture of the small bits of figs gives this jam a unique "character". It will bring sun at your breakfast table
See the picture White Figs Jam

Lighter, more delicate, more " féminine ". Made with the " Dauphine " figs with a very thin skin and almost seedless. Its taste is very fine, thanks to the fruit's high fructose content, this jam is a marvel of sweetness. It can be enjoyed at breakfast, and is particulary recommended in pastries, cakes, creps, etc... Just as a good wine, this jam tends to further develop as it is getting old.
See the picture Black Fig and Walnuts Jam

Happy mariage of the fig of Provence and the walnuts of Dauphiné : an old countryside recipe. In the fall, when these two fruits were ripe, our ancestors would prepare with passion this jam, which was going to be their favorite winter dessert. It was generally consumed in the evenings after dinners and around the fireplace. It was a common gift for Christmas and to welcome guests.

Fig Compote with bits of fruits

Not as sweetened than a regular jam, this compote is perfectly suited to be served with salted dishes especially:foie gras, duck magret, game, or even fish.
It is very simple to use, just heat up the compote with the juice of the meat or by itself.Serve it hot.
This compote can also be served with goat cheese or white cheese. Finally, it is very good on a pie as a dessert.
See the picture Fig Nectar

This drink is made of filtered fig juice.
It can be used as a base for a sauce, to be served with roasted meat or poultry. It gives a light onctuous sauce. By adding cream to the nectar and heat it up, you will realise a perfect sauce for game or duck meat. 
To drink, serve cold, by itself or as a cocktail or kir ( ½ nectar – ½ rosé of Provence or Champagne)
