I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Place fig pieces in TMBowl and measure in water
- Place lid on TMBowl, set timer to 7mins100*speed1 - leave MC in.
- When finished, puree on speed7 for 5 seconds.
- Set scales and add sugar– (you can lessen the sugar a bit – however, by no more than 100g) and lemon juice
- Place lid on TMBowl and blend on speed 4 for 30 seconds
- Set timer for 30minutes, varomatemperature, speed 3.5 – strainer basket on top of lid (to prevent splatters)
- With 8 minutes left on the timer, strainer basket can be removed to allow for more evaporation.
- Cooking time can be extended a little (5 minutes) and this will give a thicker more solid paste.
- Prepare a suitable dish to pour your paste into when ready – I use a square cake tin 18cm x 18cm – a ceramic baking tray is fine similar dimensions. The smaller the dish the thicker the paste. Line with baking paper – mitre the corners of the paper for a good fit. Alternatively, silicone moulds are fine.
- When cooking time has finished check for setting point – the paste should be looking thick and when a small amount placed on a ceramic plate gells – it is ready to pour into your chosen mould.
- The fig paste will look like a ruby when it is set - if you prefer a denser pinker look, upon completion of cooking time, place mc in lid and mix at speed 8 for about 20 seconds - this whips it up and brings some air into it and makes it more opaque with a different finish.
Tip
- When cool and set, the paste can be cut and wrapped in food grade cello paper and given as gifts or stored in layers (use glad go betweens) in an air tight container in pantry. (use hygiene gloves or sterile utensils only when handling as this is good breeding ground for bacteria) Will keep easily for 6 months like this
- Plums are plentiful right now and this is a great alternative to quince paste

This is delicious. Thankyou for a great recipe quick and easy, no fuss recipe. Love eating it with cheese & biscuits. Not bad by itself too. Will be making this one again
Awesome recipe. Tastes so delicious. Poured mine into silicone moulds, and has come out perfectly. Thanks for this "no fuss" recipe, will be using this ever year the figs are ready
Made this for the first time, exactly to the recipe, and it has turned out beautifully. Thankyou
RiaB:Hi, I know this is an old question, but in anyone new to recipe is interested.
I just half fill the bowl with water, then mix 10 mins, 100, speed 7
Do you think I could freeze in my containers? Thanks
I have some from 2019 and still great with some cheese.
1st time making this today. How long will it keep for?
Great recipe. Used it several times in 2020 and today for 3 batches of paste. Last batch I cooked the mixture another 5 mins and it turned cloudy. What is the reason for this, can anyone help?
It was like concrete after cooking, strictly according to recipe. Not sure how to get my bowl clean, an hour of soaking hasn't helped yet
Bad beyond belief
