Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces fresh figs
- 1 piece medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 piece orange (zested and juiced)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Wash and trim the stems off the figs. Slice each fig into quarters.
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small chunks.
Zest and juice the orange. Reserve the zest and set aside the juice for cooking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the figs, diced apple, orange juice, honey, water, and ground cinnamon.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruits start to break down and the mixture thickens, about 20-25 minutes.
Stir in the orange zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender to achieve your desired consistency, being careful as it will be hot.
Let the spread cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve the spread on toast, crackers, or as a delightful topping for pancakes or yogurt.
