To be served as a condiment to our our “Duck Burger”, or to keep on hand as a tasty condiment.
Ingredients
- 10 large dried figs (you can use fresh if in season)
- 3 Gala apples, peeled, cored, and cubed
- 3/4 cup of red onions, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/3 cup apple juice
- 1/3 cup organic apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar ( 1 use 18 yr old from Olivia's Oils & Vinegars)
- Water
- Salt and pepper to taste ( I use a tri-colour blend)
- (Optional: cinnamon and ground ginger)
Directions
Method:
- Chop up figs to uniform pieces and set aside
- In a large fry pan, add 1 tbsp olive oil, heat until glistening, and then add the onion and garlic. Cook at a medium heat, taking care not to burn.
- Add diced figs and apples to the mixture, stirring to coat the mixture and then deglaze the pan with the apple juice and apple cider vinegar.
- Cook down the mixture adding water if necessary, to hydrate the figs and cook down the apples.
- Once the apples are cooked, add most of the Balsamic vinegar, you can always add more to taste.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and any spices that you want like cinnamon and ground ginger.
Allow to cool and place in a jar, mixture should be good for about 2 weeks in the fridge. Serve with Duck burgers.
Spice, sweetness, and a great acidity; it has it all. Perfect pairing condiment for a Duck Burger.
