Fig/Earl Gray Preserves

This preserve consists of fresh figs flavored with Earl Tea and pieces of bergamot. Figs are one of those fruits that develops more flavor when cooked. It is lovely on brioche, scones or croissants  but it shines in a sandwich made with butter, speck or prosciutto and arugula, or with bread and goat cheese. 
 
We make these preserves in September when figs first appear in the market.
