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.

Beautiful, my guest all said how interesting the flavours where. I served it on a cheese board with a selection of cheeses and it went down well. Several people asked for the recipe

This had a great flavour. Works best if ingredients are cut up more finely than the recipe suggests.

This is a great recipe. I've made this to eat myself (with cheese or on it's own) and given it away as presents (wrapped up in greaseproof paper and string - very Sound of Music!) and been asked for the recipe. Really easy to make and tastes delicious.

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