Balsamic Fig Jam

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

1 cup dried figs

(from a 7-0z. or 8-oz. pouch of California dried mission figs)

½ cup jarred roasted red pepper

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

Ground black pepper

Snip off and discard stems from tops of figs. Place figs in the bowl of a small food processor.

In a 1-cup pyrex measuring cup or small heat-proof bowl, combine balsamic vinegar and honey, then warm in microwave oven in three 10-second intervals, stirring in between to dissolve honey. Pour over figs and infuse for 5 minutes.

Add red pepper to figs in the food processor. Process until smooth. Season to taste, processing again with salt and black pepper. Makes 1¼ cups
