    The figs are ripe. sweet and the season is short. Fresh rosemary, lemon zest and juice marry perfectly to create a jam to be eaten with bold cheeses as an appetizer. Little work to create, long, slow cooking time and a couple of sterilized jars will carry this treat well into the Winter - provided you can avoid eating it all during breakfast - a poached egg, cup of tea, toast buttered and spread with the remnants of summer - figs, lemon and rosemary...
