Marco Polo Fig Preserves are made with only four pure ingredients: sun-ripened figs, sugar, citric acid and pectin. One taste of the luxuriously earthy-sweet flavor of our Fig Preserves and you will find a multitude of ways to enjoy them. If there’s one classic pairing with figs, it’s cheese! Serve as a condiment with a cracker and cheese (and charcuterie) platter. Or, use to make a delectable baked brie. Simply cut a small round of brie in half, spread some fig preserves in the middle, join the top and bottom layers, cover with sliced almonds and bake. Add a layer of Marco Polo Fig Preserves to a grilled cheese sandwich, and you will be in taste heaven! For a mouthwatering flatbread or pizza: spread a layer of fig preserves on the fully baked dough, top with soft goat cheese or shaved Manchego, fresh arugula, Marcona almonds and a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar. For a meat lovers’ version: bake the flatbread or pizza with the fig preserves, cheese, and prosciutto or pancetta – and top with fresh arugula once out of the oven. Marco Polo Fig Preserves make a wonderful fig vinaigrette and an excellent glaze or pan sauce for chicken, duck or pork dishes, with balsamic vinegar and fresh lemon juice. Use in a homemade recipe for Fig Newtons, or a fig blondie, and your kids will thank you!
