Ingredients
Directions
Place figs, vinegar, brown sugar and star anise in saucepot with 1½ cups water. Simmer over low heat for approximately 30 minutes. Transfer mixture to blender and purée until silky smooth. It should have the consistency of honey; if too stiff, add some cool water to adjust. Set aside to cool.
Spread fig jam onto grissini with a spoon. Crumble blue cheese on top of fig jam coated grissini, sprinkle rosemary on top. Wrap in prosciutto. Makes 2½ cups.
