If you find yourself with some fresh figs on hand, try stewing them. They’re a nice little treat.
Cut them into pieces, and cook in a saucepan with a bit of water. Add a good squeeze of fresh orange juice if you like, and maybe a quick dash of salt.
Simmer, covered, until the figs are tender and the water is nearly gone — about 15-20 minutes.
I tossed a sprig of fresh rosemary into this batch. It added a nice flavor but don't use too much or let it cook for too long or it will impart a bitterness.
Serve plain… or topped with pepitas… alongside yogurt… or on a salad.

I LOVE figs!!! I am going to try this! You come up with such yummy and yet easy things! <3<3
Yum…I love figs!
A real winner! This is one of the best and easiest fig recipes I’ve tried, and we are overrun with them now so it’s welcome. The rosemary is a sophisticated accent we loved. I did not add water, but shaved lemon slices and the orange juice.
