Fig, Apple and Walnut Paste - My very first conversion!!!! Woo hoo

[Greyhoundmum]

This one probably not the texture of the ones you leave to set into log and cut this one more like jam.. But I do have a recipe for the log fig paste so I will post that too!

Going to make this tomorrow GHM so how much sugar would you suggest as you said you would use less next time?

[Deniser]

Thought I might make this soon - love anything with crackers and cheese. Also would be great in Christmas gifts. Can anyone tell me if I could just use normal sugar - I know I had trouble finding jam sugar last time I needed it. Also interested in amount of sugar required.

Hi MF
I would just put in one bag of the jam setting sugar which is 500 g.  Hope you like it.

]Hi Deniser,
I had to go to a couple of shops until  I could get the jam setting sugar, you can also use normal sugar and add some jam setta, I know there are others who make jam with normal sugar only but I am not a very experienced cook at all. 
The recipe stated 600 g of sugar but I would reduce next time.

Thanks GHM. Looking forward to it as it sounds delish. Need to go to Ikea to buy some jars 

[Greyhoundmum]

Hi MF are you in Perth? There is a great place in canning vale that does lovely jars all shapes and sizes work out cheap especially I if you share a carton with someone

[Greyhoundmum]

After such success with both the quince and apple & pear paste I'm eager to try different combinations. Do you think i could use fresh figs and cook for longer to give a much firmer texture? While I like the idea of the walnuts I'm not sure they would work in a firmer paste.

Hi there, we have a fig tree so will be using fresh figs for this recipe. How many would I use instead of dry? Thanks
