- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp lime zest
- 1/2 tsp lime juice
- 4 tsps brown sugar organic cane sugar
Buttered Maple Walnuts
- 1 tbsp butter unsalted
- 2 tbsps maple syrup
- 5-7 walnuts diced

- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Fig Jam
- In a saucepan over high heat, add the sliced figs, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and water.
- Stir together until fully combined. Let it reach a simmering boil with the lid covered for 10 minutes
- Take the lid off and let it cook for another 15 minutes on medium to low heat, or until the water fully evaporates. You're done when you're left with a thick, goey mixture. You can taste test here and add more or less sugar/lime if you like.
Maple Glazed Walnuts
- In a frying pan over medium to low heat, melt the butter
- Add the diced walnuts and stir together for a few minutes
- Add the maple syrup and gently stir it altogether for 30 seconds to 1 minute. You want to avoid burning the syrup. Once fully incorporated, switch the gas off and transfer the walnuts into a bowl to cool down.
- The butter may harden and stick all the diced walnuts together. In this case, just use the back of your cooking spatula to gently crack it apart again when you're ready to use.
Assembling the Tartine
- Spread the jam over the slice of bread
- Sprinkle the walnuts over the jam
- Crumble the feta over the walnuts
- Dust the chopped parsley over the feta
- Drizzle the apple sider vinegar over the tartine and serve warm
