Vanilla-Infused Figs
 
Makes about 3 cups
Ingredients
  • 2 cups hot water
  • ¼ cup superfine vanilla sugar
  • ¼ cup raw cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1 pound fresh figs, stems pinched off
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water, sugars, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat; reduce heat to low, and let come to a simmer. Add figs, and partially cover with lid. (Syrup will be quite thin and light.) Simmer, gently stirring occasionally, being careful not to pop fig skins, for 30 minutes. (Figs will puff up like balloons as they simmer.)
