The story behind the recipe
Confiture Parisienne likes to take you to unknown lands with recipes that seem to be classic, but with that little extra ingredient that brings that "little something extra".
To start the festive season, we propose a fig and blackcurrant pepper jam... blackcurrant pepper. All French of course and made in our laboratory in Paris!
A jam that will work just as well in the morning when you get out of bed on your toast as it will with a cheeseboard.
But what is blackcurrant pepper? It is a spice made from blackcurrant buds that have been ground to a powder.
The buds used in this way do not have the sweetness of blackcurrant but add a little "pepperiness" while retaining the slight acidity of blackcurrant.
This spice with its woody and floral notes enhances the "round" taste of the (very) large pieces of figs for a unique and addictive recipe.
