Confiture Parisienne loves to take you off the beaten path — with recipes that may seem classic at first glance, but always include that special little twist. To kick off the festive season, we’re offering you a fig jam... with blackcurrant pepper. All 100% French, of course, and handmade in our Parisian atelier as always! A jam that works just as well in the morning on your toast as it does later in the day alongside a cheese platter. But what exactly is blackcurrant pepper? It’s a spice made from ground blackcurrant buds. Used this way, the buds don’t carry the sweet taste of the fruit itself, but instead bring a subtle peppery note — while still preserving a hint of blackcurrant’s signature tang. This woody, floral spice enhances the rich, mellow flavor of the (very) large fig chunks in this unique and addictive recipe.
