– Fresh figs – White sugar – Water – Vanilla extract See recipe card for quantities.

Ingredient list

Wash and stem the fresh figs. Set aside. Place saucepan over medium heat. Add in water and sugar. Stir with a spoon until sugar dissolves into the water.

Step-by-step instructions

Add in the chopped figs. Feel free to add in a little cinnamon or other warm spices. Stir and combine with a spoon.

Step-by-step instructions

Bring fig mixture to a gentle boil. Once it is boiling, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until figs become soft and mixture thickens. You want the consistency to be similar to maple syrup. The longer you simmer it, the thicker it gets.

Step-by-step instructions

Stir in vanilla extract during the last minute of simmering.  Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly.

Step-by-step instructions

Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container or bowl to remove any fig seeds or solids.  Press down on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract all the syrup.

Step-by-step instructions

Let the syrup cool to room temperature.  Once cooled, transfer it to a clean, airtight container or a glass bottle with a pourable spout.

Step-by-step instructions

If you'd like your fig syrup to be thinner like a simple syrup, don't simmer it as long.  Simmering it for too long will give it a very thick consistency.
