We used to have a fig tree. We did make jam. Here is a nice fresh fig cake recipe. Wholemeal Fig & Apple Loaf Succulent figs add a new dimension to this rich, delicious - and nutritious - fig and apple loaf. It's easy! Serves 8. Prep Time: 10 Minutes. Cooking Time: 80 Minutes. Ingredients 340g fresh figs, chopped 300g sultanas 200g dried apple, chopped 2 cups apple juice 1/4 cup honey 2 tsp vanilla essence 1 tsp cinnamon 4 egg whites 1 1/2 cups wholemeal self raising flour Cooking Instructions Preheat oven to 175°C. In a large saucepan, combine figs, sultanas, apple juice, honey and vanilla. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until fruit is plump and soft. Take the saucepan off the heat and allow contents to cool. Once cool, add the cinnamon, egg whites and flour and mix well. Spoon into 1 large or 2 small loaf tins. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Test with skewer to see if baked all the way through. Cool in the tin before removing. From: asp31.toadshow.com.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=191
