Although you may have thought you merely purchased a jar of Stripling’s Fig Preserves, you also are getting a slight bond with those who lived in prior civilizations. That’s because cultivation and consumption of figs date all the way back to the ancient Roman Empire and even Biblical times, where figs represented peace and prosperity.
And, to be quite honest, when consuming Stripling’s Fig Preserves, we actually do feel very peaceful and prosperous and that all is at least momentarily well with the world.
For a more modern twist, use our fig preserves in this recipe for slightly spiced cookies. We recommend pairing them with a cool glass of milk, or, if you prefer, a hot cup of coffee.
Fig Preserve Cookies
1 cup shortening
1 ½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground allspice
1 ½ cup Striplings Fig Preserves (well-drained & chopped)*
½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and allspice. Set aside. Combine shortening and sugar; add eggs and vanilla. Add in flour mixture and blend until smooth. Add Stripling’s Fig Preserves. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle pecans on top. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
*2 (10 ounce) jars of Stripling’s Fig Preserves will meet the recipe requirement and leave several ounces for other uses!
