Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 6 medium fresh figs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Rinse the raspberries and figs under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Trim the stems off the figs and slice them into quarters.
In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, figs, honey, lemon juice, water, and salt.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the fruit softens and breaks down into a sauce-like consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the sauce cool slightly, then use an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender to blend until smooth, if desired. Alternatively, leave the sauce chunky for texture.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Transfer the sauce to a bowl or jar and let it cool completely before storing.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve warm or chilled as a topping or accompaniment.
