Fig Butter

Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried Figs, Stems Removed
• 1-½ cup Pressed Apple Juice
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Triple Sec (optional, Can Replace With Orange Juice)

Preparation Instructions

Place figs in a medium saucepan. Cover with apple juice; allow to soak for 15 minutes.

Add sugar and triple sec; stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes. Then remove pan from heat and allow figs to cool.

Puree mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth. The butter may seem a little runny at first, but once it chills it will thicken up considerably.

Fig butter will last, stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for at least a week and probably closer to 10 days.
