Excerpt from the book „Vegetarisches aus 1001 Nacht“, pala-verlag, page 34

A recipe with one of the most ancient fruits of mankind.

The fig has a very long history which starts, according to recent research results, 11.400 years ago in Jordania. Not only was the fig a very important fruit to eat but gained a very interesting symbolic meaning over the years. It is a symbol for fertility but also a symbol for feeling well.

Tip: Add a pomegrate, a little orange juice, cinnamon and anis to your jelly. This will add a special flavor to it which sweetens up the cold November days.
