Fig Butter

This fig butter is very good and has no added sugar (unlike most of the fig preserves you can buy around here). I don't think my frozen figs were the best ones from last year's crop and I can't wait to try this recipe again when I have figs fresh from our tree. The riper the figs, the tastier the fig butter will be, I'm sure.

Ingredients

24 fresh figs, stems removed
Water

Instructions

(Don't worry too much about actual measurements here, I just included a number so I could calculate nutritional information.)
Place figs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mixture has thickened. Stir occasionally.
Once the mixture is a nice consistency, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Process in a food processor until smooth. Store in refrigerator.
