Fig and Ginger Jam

When I first tasted this after making it, I found the heat of the ginger and the snap of the vinegar startling. But a week later it had calmed down, mellowing into a subtler jam.

Ingredients
1/3 cup aged red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon red wine
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup raisins
2 teaspoons slivered candied ginger or  peeled fresh ginger
2 cups fresh figs, cut into quarters
1/2 tablespoon mustard seeds
3  cloves
1/4 teaspoon tamarind
1 teaspoon fig balsamic or  regular balsamic vinegar
Directions
Combine the red wine vinegar, wine, honey, raisins, and ginger in a noncorrosive saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add the figs, mustard seeds, cloves and tamarind, cover, and cook over low heat until the figs are soft but still hold a little of their shape, about 10 minutes. Check once to make sure the pan isn’t too dry. If it is, add a little water.

Remove from heat. When cool, taste and, if you wish it to be sharper, add a little fig balsamic vinegar to taste.
Chef Suggestions
Good on toast with fresh ricotta or sheep's milk cheese.
