Wash and dry the Turkish figs thoroughly. Remove the stems and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.

Coarsely chop the premium English walnuts.

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the crystal-clear spring water, freshly squeezed organic lemon juice, and golden, fine-grain granulated sugar.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Once the sugar has dissolved, add the chopped Turkish figs and coarsely chopped English walnuts to the saucepan.

Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.

Sprinkle the aromatic ground cardamom into the simmering mixture.

Stir well to incorporate the cardamom flavor throughout the jam.

Allow the jam to simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally. This process may take around 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.

To test the consistency, place a small amount of the jam on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when touched, it’s ready. If not, continue simmering and test again after a few minutes.

Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.

Allow the Mediterranean Fig and Walnut Jam to cool in the saucepan.

Once cooled, transfer the jam into sterilized jars and seal them tightly.

This jam is delicious served on toast, with cheese, or as a condiment for various dishes. Enjoy your homemade Mediterranean Fig and Walnut Jam!
