Equipment

  • 1 sauce pan
  • 1 12oz glass bottle
  • 1 Strainer
  • 1 funnel

Ingredients

  • 5 pcs fresh figs quartered, stems removed
  • 1 ½ cup demerara sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp Vodka optional

Instructions

  • Chop the figs in quarters and remove the stem. Mash them slightly before adding them to a saucepan.
  • Now add the remaining ingredients into the saucepan, as well. Turn heat to medium and gently heat and stir the mix.
  • When the mix is about to start boiling, reduce heat and keep stirring until sugar completely dissolves and the figs fall apart.
  • Let the mixture simmer for 15 to 30 minutes until your fig syrup turns sticky.
  • Remove from heat and let the syrup cool down to room temperature. Strain into a bottle and store it in the fridge. Use up within four weeks.
  • If you want to extend the shelf life of your syrup beyond four weeks, add a tbs of Vodka.
