Balsamic Stewed Figs Recipe at The Little Shop of Olive Oils

Balsamic Stewed Figs

INGREDIENTS:

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Wash and pat dry the figs.  Slice off the ends.  Quarter the figs if they are small or roughly chop if they are larger and then place them in a saucepan over medium heat with the balsamic, sugar, and water.
  • Using a wooden spoon, gently crush the figs to extract some of the juices and stir to mix them with the balsamic and sugar.
  • Bring to a simmer and keep at a simmer, stirring frequently, until the figs are soft, and the juices have reduced to a thick syrup, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread on toast, over ice cream, onto oatmeal, or serve with a log of goat cheese and crackers for an easy and delicious appetizer.
  • These will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
