Fig and Stem Ginger Jam

A jam to serve at every meal!

I love fig jam, and this jam has a delicate addition 

of stem ginger, that brings it to another level of layered flavors!

At breakfast  - on toast

                                          At lunch  - with goat cheese and baguette

                                          At dinner   - served with roast pork             

Oh my! Too many choices!!

As Always,

ENJOY!
