How to Make Fig Spread
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 pound fresh figs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 1/2 cups water.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, or until the figs are very soft and most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let the fig mixture cool slightly.
- Transfer the cooled fig mixture to a food processor.
- Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
- Puree until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
- Transfer the fig spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
