Ingredients
- 1 lb figs fresh or dried
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- First, wash your figs, cut off the stems and slice them up into quarters.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring sliced figs and water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer for 30 minutes. The liquid will reduce and the figs will become soft.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and strain the fig mixture to yield a smooth, refined liquid. Strain again if any seeds come through. Discard the stewed figs or enjoy them with ice cream or oatmeal.
- Measure the hot liquid and add an equal amount of sugar. (Alternatively, measure 1 cup of liquid and 1 cup of syrup.) Stir until dissolved.
- Let cool completely, then funnel into a jar or bottle. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to one month.
