    Probably Fallon and Byrne.

    Rang fallon and byrne and they have fig jam. Thanks for the advice. I tried Superquinn and M&S and neither off them had it.

    Jabula on Great Strand Street in Dublin 1 sell Fig jam for less than 3 euro's according to their website.

    Might be a cheaper alternative to Fallon and Byrne

    I have an easy recipe for Fig jam, courtesy of Nevin Maguire Home Chef....

    3tbsp olive oil
    3 red onions peeled & sliced
    225g dried figs, chopped
    1 garlic clove, peeled & crushed
    150ml red wine
    2tbsp balsamic vinegar
    1tsp caster sugar
    1tsp chopped thyme

    Heat olive oil, in a large saucepan over medium heat, saute onions for 10 mins till soft but not browned. Stir in the figs and garlic till well combined. Add red wine & balsamic vinegar. Cook for about 10 mins until thickened slightly - the alcohol will have cooked off.

    Stir in the sugar & thyme, season with salt & pepper to taste. Blend using processor for 1-2mins until smooth. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight, sterlised jar, in the fridge to use as required. Keeps for up to 2 months.

    Fallon & Byrne are great and I love a browse in there, always pick up a few goodies for the cupboard.

    This recipe is easy to make if you are not near any of the shops mentioned in the thread.....:)
