We don't THINK it will work with dreid fruit. We've never really thought of that before but jams/preserves have a lot to do with the pectin associated with fresh fruit. If you find differently, please let us knowKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
In the recipe above, candy thermometer = thermapen if you have one
Can't allow a candy thermo to be attached to the mighty centex (sarcasm) name )

I feel like one of Pavlov's dogs as I type this thinking about what I'll be having for brunch this weekend..!
Having said that, instead of a creamy Brie, have you thought or ever tried this with manchego cheese? I feel the nuttiness and firmness of the cheese will hold its own a bit better with the bold flavours of duck breast and the sweetness of the figs..
Incidentally, being that I am in the middle of winter it'll be a long tie until figs hit the shelves.. So I'm going to try it with dried figs, as was suggested. I have a feeling it'll work - once the figs are rehydrated (I could use spice like chai in the mix), they will become rather plump and usable..
In any case, this is definitely a recipe I'm stealing.

The Bellavitano (not picutred) is our favorite and has many qualities of Manchego. It's very nutty and almost crumbly.*for an amazing appetizer: grill slices of baguette and top with brie, fig jam, smoked duck breast & caramelized onion.
