Method

  1. Pulse the almonds in a food processor until most are finely chopped. Remove and transfer to a bowl. Whizz the figs until they form a sticky paste, then add this to the almonds with the remaining ingredients. Mix well, then shape into a sausage and allow to dry, uncovered, in the fridge or a cool, dry place for a week.
  2. Wrap and tie in baking parchment if giving away, then slice and serve alongside your favourite cheeses. Will keep in a cool place for up to 2 months.

    Such fun to make! Can really get your hands dirty smushing it all up! A tip would be to blend the ingredients in very small portions as they tend to stick together, then when mixing all the ingredients together just use your hands. A lovely gift for hampers when wrapped up :)

    I made these for my Christmas hampers and they were the highlight apparently with requests in for them again next year. Really scrummy

    does it mean you should leave it in the fridge for a week and THEN wrap it and give it away?
