Jewish Fig and Honey Spread

Though the classic use of this fig and honey spread is on bread, we mixed it into some plain yogurt and it was sublime. Experiment.

• 2 cups finely chopped dried figs
• 2 naval oranges, finely chopped or ground
• 1 cup sweet red wine
• 1 cup honey
• 2 cinnamon sticks

METHOD

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally until mixture is thick and jam-like. Cool and store in refrigerator until needed. Spread on sliced challah, or toasted bagels.

Yield: About 4 cups
