Ingredients
- Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Honey
- 1/2 cup
- Fresh figs
- 1 pound, stemmed and quartered
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine quartered figs, honey, fresh lemon juice, and cinnamon.
- Set the saucepan over medium heat. As the mixture heats, stir gently to combine the ingredients and coat the figs evenly in the honey mixture.
- Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes. During this time, the figs will soften, and the mixture will thicken to a compote consistency.
- Once the compote has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow the compote to cool slightly in the pan.
- Your Honey-Infused Fig Compote is ready to serve. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the compote.
- This compote can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
