Flavorful Fig Syrup Recipe

• 12 fresh mission figs, halved
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups water
• 12 dried figs, cut into 1/4-inch strips

1. Preheat your oven to 250u0b0F. Arrange fresh figs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cook until figs are slightly shriveled and have released some juices, about 40 minutes.
2. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat.
3. In heatproof quart jar or medium heatproof bowl, carefully combine oven-dried figs, sliced dried figs, and warm simple syrup. Steep at room temperature for 3 hours.
4. Using an immersion blender, blend fig mixture until it is a chunky puree. Using a jelly bag or clean white t-shirt, strain into a clean jar. You will need to squeeze the jelly bag or t-shirt to help extract the most liquid. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Fig syrup keeps 1 week in the fridge.
