Fig and Almond Jam
Method
Combine all ingredients except jam and mix. Chill. For a party leave jam on side so put a dollop on individual servings, I put it on top before chilling as we all love it. Now how easy is that? Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but it tastes better made in the morning for serving that evening or even made the night before to let the flavors mellow and the marshmallows to "dissolve" a bit in the sour cream. You do NOT need to mix again before serving.
Story behind this recipe
Passed down from my Nan as a refreshing palate cleanser after a meal, but now is a tradition after the BBQ :) make both kinds (yogurt and fruit salad) for differing tastes.
