"Aah! The last of the figs from my garden. Thanksgiving is 1 month away so I added cranberries, ginger root, orange, and vanilla. Try it on your turkey or pork roast. Also great on scones or warmed over pancakes making a wonderful holiday breakfast."

  1. MMMMM...had for Thanksgiving, to spread on hot rolls. YUMMY! Use some spread on cream cheese with salty crackers. OMG! TDF! THANKS SO MUCH, RITA!
     
  2. Made this partially as gifts, but kept 2 jars of it for ourselves, & tried them first on some homemade sweet potato biscuits that I'd made ~ OUTSTANDING! We really enjoyed the combo of orange fig & cranberry! I look forward to trying the great jam on pancakes or waffles within the next day or so! Definitely a keeper of a recipe!
