Author Notes
This chutney is best enjoyed cold or heated up with a hard cheeses platter or with some good game dishes, like venison, guinea fowl, wild boar, pheasant, & also with my wild boar appetizer. —Sophies Foodie

200 grams
dried figs, stems removed & cut into little pieces
-
100 grams

-
100 grams
unrefined fine coconut blossom sugar / if you don’t have that : cane sugar
-
1/2
lemon, the juice!
-
1 tablespoon
apple cider vinegar
-
a few pinches

Directions
-
Take a large bowl & add both the fresh fig parts & the dried fig parts. Mix well. Divide the sugar all over the fig parts, add the red onion parts too & mix well with a spoon.
Add the cider vinegar, the lemon pieces & lemon juice. Mix it all carefully together with a spoon.
Take a larger cooking pot & spoon the mix in it. Ad about 3 grins of sea salt & a few pinches of cayenne pepper, not too much. Place on a medium hot fire & cook softly for about 25 minutes. It has to cook. Stir from time to time & don’t let the mix burn. The mix will thicken.
Rinse your 3 bottles with hot water & place them upside down on a clean towel until ready to use.
Fill your bottles up & immediately turn the lids on them. Let them cool down. Label them. Place them aside in a cool place but not the fridge. Once you have opened a bottle, keep in the fridge.
