I believe a basket of figs is about 8oz or half a pound. Also, some pans will react chemically with food, most commonly, aluminum or copper. Anything stainless steel, which is what most pans are made with now, will be fine. I hope that helps... tell me how it goes! rwt Hello… I believe a basket of figs is about 8oz or half a pound.

I've just gotten a whole bag of fresh & rip figs and am desperate to make this jam in order to make the balsamic fig cake of yours. What, then, is a "basket" of figs, since they aren't sold like that by me? Also, this "non-reactive" pan stuff sounds scary- basically...a saucepan that doesn't talk back? I have a really old saucepan...does that count? :p Thanks, can't wait! Hallo!

Yum. Would be gorgeous with a good pecorino on toast for breakfast or spooned over Bircher too. This screams eat me with creamy chèvre! Yum.

Figs are such photogenic little darlings, aren't they? I'm absolutely with you on making just a bit of jam, as you need it, when the mood strikes etc. It keeps us in the moment perhaps? :) Oh I love the photos in this post.

How do you come up with stuff like this? What spices go together and what brings out the flavor. It's science. I would never think of fruit, balsamic vinegar and spices together. I would just eat the fruit by itself and think that's it but you, you're thinking beyond the fruit or whatever you have in your hands and make some amazing dish! Thank goodness for creative geniuses like you! YUMMY!!!! You’re really amazing! How do you come up with stuff like this? What spices go together and what brings out the flavor. It’s science.
