We cook this every Autumn.
Living on a homestead means that we get to harvest and cook with the freshest ingredients. As part of our lifestyle series, we thought we’d share with you our awesome Fig Sauce recipe made with Portuguese ingredients. We traditionally eat it with cheese, liver pâté, or charcuterie. We hope you’ll enjoy it. Special thanks to one of our subscribers for the lovely gift.
