Ingredients

250 grams dried figs (finely diced)
½ cup sake
200 grams granulated sugar
⅓ cup water
1 cinnamon stick
200 grams apples (peeled and finely diced)

Instructions

Put the figs, and sake in a sealable bag, and press out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. Soak overnight.
When you're ready to make the preserves, add the sugar, water and cinnamon stick to a small saucepan and then add the apples and figs.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat and then adjust the heat down to maintain a medium boil.
Boil until the preserves are thick and syrupy, about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it's not burning.
Let your preserves cool before transferring to a container and storing in the fridge.
