Instructions
Roughly chop the dried apricots and figs into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are plump and tender.
Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract, then stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
