Recipe's preparation
- Place fig pieces in TMBowl and measure in water
- Place lid on TMBowl, set timer to 7mins100*speed1 - leave MC in.
- When finished, puree on speed7 for 5 seconds.
- Set scales and add sugar– (you can lessen the sugar a bit – however, by no more than 100g) and lemon juice
- Place lid on TMBowl and blend on speed 4 for 30 seconds
- Set timer for 30minutes, varomatemperature, speed 3.5 – strainer basket on top of lid (to prevent splatters)
- With 8 minutes left on the timer, strainer basket can be removed to allow for more evaporation.
- Cooking time can be extended a little (5 minutes) and this will give a thicker more solid paste.
- Prepare a suitable dish to pour your paste into when ready – I use a square cake tin 18cm x 18cm – a ceramic baking tray is fine similar dimensions. The smaller the dish the thicker the paste. Line with baking paper – mitre the corners of the paper for a good fit. Alternatively, silicone moulds are fine.
- When cooking time has finished check for setting point – the paste should be looking thick and when a small amount placed on a ceramic plate gells – it is ready to pour into your chosen mould.
- The fig paste will look like a ruby when it is set - if you prefer a denser pinker look, upon completion of cooking time, place mc in lid and mix at speed 8 for about 20 seconds - this whips it up and brings some air into it and makes it more opaque with a different finish.

Tip
- When cool and set, the paste can be cut and wrapped in food grade cello paper and given as gifts or stored in layers (use glad go betweens) in an air tight container in pantry. (use hygiene gloves or sterile utensils only when handling as this is good breeding ground for bacteria) Will keep easily for 6 months like this
- Plums are plentiful right now and this is a great alternative to quince paste

Great recipe. Used it several times in 2020 and today for 3 batches of paste. Last batch I cooked the mixture another 5 mins and it turned cloudy. What is the reason for this, can anyone help?

Absolutely love this recipe I have Tm6 I leave for and extra 5-10 mins depending on fruit used as I mix with feijoa sometimes. Turns out delicious 🤤

Great go to recipe. I've made it twice now, the second time I changed the speed to 3 and added 5 minutes cooking and took the Mc off. Gave me a firmer consistency

I cooked it for 20 minutes, varoma, speed 3 with the strainer on top instead of the measuring cup. Then removed the strainer and did 15 minutes, varoma, speed 3.5. It has set super thick, more like paste than jam.
I also used the green variety of fig which isn't as sweet as the purple variety, so I used the amount of sugar mentioned in the recipe.

Delish! Loved this recipe. I think it’s more like a jam, but I’m using it for both and it’s amaing! Speed 3.5 was too fast I think. I reduced it down to speed 3, and it was perfect. Great way to use up fogs on special! Yay!

Love the flavour of this. Mine turned out more like jam, but that's ok. It's still delicious. I used it to dribble in the top of a gluten free cake that I usually put sliced fruit on and it was perfect for that too.
Hi. How long did you cook it

Hi. I'm making this now.
Hi. I'm making this now. Seems nice and simple. Hope it sets. *grin* I wonder about the speed??? It seems very fast. I'm using the newest Thermomix...5. Did everyone do use the 3.5 speed? I've turned it down to 3 when I took the basket off at 8 mins. Thanks. *grin*
Question...do you think you
Question...do you think you could use dried figs. I have a kg packet I need to use up
This is delicious! Very easy
This is delicious! Very easy recipe too. mine didn't set as much as I would like, so next time might cook a bit longer. still tasted delicious, just not as easy to cut. great on a cheese board.
Thanks for the recipe and the
Thanks for the recipe and the 750g fig, 400 g sugar.. it worked a treat. figs are ripe but not dripping with juice like they were a fortnight ago. Maybe it could have come off at the 30 minute mark but we took the extra 5 and it is now setting brilliantly...can't wait, not too sweet - can taste as much fig as sweetness (commercial brands so sweet the fruit could almost be anything - but this is definitely lovely fig paste....(will be interesting to see if it unmolds from the fluted ramekin tho....that will be interesting...Thanks everyone.
I used 750gm figs, 400gms
I used 750gm figs, 400gms sugar with the same quantity of water & lemon juice. very yummy. Did take a long time to reach right consistency.
Question re setting time and
Question re setting time and method..
Where does it need to be and for how long? Mine still has not set
Yum! Can't wait till mine is
Yum! Can't wait till mine is set!
I made 1.5 times the recipe as I have an over-abundance of figs at the moment (quite a fertile tree!) and just cooked it for longer.. Next time I'll add less sugar, as it was very sweet, but it's still delicious (licking the spatula). The method didn't state how to cool the mix. Im presuming benchtop, and not the fridge? Cheers!
Great recipe. I didn't have
Great recipe. I didn't have that many figs so I had to 1/3 the recipe and i still needed less sugar, it's a bit too sweet for my palate, but some people like that. I also halved the cook time for this amount but could have cooked a bit less still. It's in my collection and will use it again
