Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (174 grams) quartered dried Black Mission figs

  • 1½ teaspoons (6 grams) almond extract

Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring figs, orange juice, and ¼ cup (60 grams) water to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is absorbed, about 6 minutes.
