Canning Figs Poached in Red Wine
Figs are easy to can at home using this recipe. We prefer to can figs in a merlot
wine. We put in a little cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg. Upon opening, drain
and reheat the wine to make a syrup that is delicious when drizzled over the fruit
and vanilla ice cream.
Remember to follow food safety instructions and select blemish free fruit. We
always prefer organic fruit without pesticides. We add lemon juice to most
recipes to help
protect the color.
