Fig Spread
Marla Hingley
Use this thick sweet spread on our Grilled Veggie Flatbread, or spread on some gluten free crackers along with a tart soft cheese, like goat cheese.

Total Time 25 mins
- 10 oz dried figs stemmed and cut in half
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
In a saucepan, add figs, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce and simmer covered for about 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has reduced and figs can easily be pieced with a knife.
Pour everything into a food processor, and add lemon juice. Purée until smooth - add ¼ cup of water if needed to thin out to your desired consistency.
Store in fridge up to 1 week, or freeze into small portions to use as needed.
