Dried Fig Jam with Mastic, Aniseed, and Walnuts

1. 1

   Chop the figs roughly.

2. 2

   Boil the sugar and water with the lemon juice for a few minutes, then add the figs, and simmer gently until they are soft and impregnated with the syrup, which should have thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.

3. 3

   Stir constantly to avoid burning.

4. 4

   Add the aniseed, pine nuts and walnuts, and the mastic if you like.

5. 5

   (To be properly pulverized, the mastic must have been pounded or ground with a pinch of sugar.)

6. 6

   Stir well, and cook a few minutes longer.

7. 7

   Pour into clean glass jars and let it cool, then close tightly.
