Warm the jam and pass through a sieve. Bring brandy, vinegar and jam to the boil. Season with pepper. Leave to cool. Meanwhile, dab off the meat and cut into 16 medallions. Wash the thyme, dab dry and shorten the stems.
Wrap each medallion with 1 slice of ham and 1 stalk of thyme. Brush with marinade. Heat clarified butter in a pan and fry the medallions for 2-3 minutes on each side. Brush the medallions again with marinade. Wash, dry and quarter the figs. Put 2 medallions and 2 fig wedges on a skewer
