Preparing the Figs, Dates, and Onions
1 cup dried pitted dates
1 cup dried figs
2 cups water
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, peeled, halved, and sliced into thin half moons
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup red wine
Finishing the Cranberry Jam
2 cups fresh cranberries, washed and picked over
soak water from figs and dates
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
Splash freshly squeezed lemon juice

1
Bring water to a boil and remove. from heat. Put the figs and dates into the water and let rest for 20 minutes. In a medium skillet heat olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Stir and cook until softened, add salt. Add wine, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover partially, and cook onions until caramelized and sweet, adjusting seasoning if necessary. Your onions should be a red wine tinged soft tangled mess when you are done. Set aside.
2
In a large saucepan, add in soak water from figs and dates along with the cranberries and lemon zest. Bring to a boil and when the cranberries start to pop (about 8 minutes) and mixture bubbles, take off the heat. Strain and reserve almost all of the liquid (some stays with the fruit) and pulse in a food processor until chunky. Pour back into the saucepan and add in the honey and caramelized onions. Adjust for seasoning with salt and honey. You may need to add in a bit of the strained cranberry/fig/date liquid depending on how saucy you like your sauce. I like mine pretty chunky without any extra liquid. Serve at room temperature.
