  • Prep Time 5 minutes
  • Total Time 35 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 2 cups dried Turkish figs, stemmed
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • Zest and juice from 1 navel orange
    • 2 cinnamon sticks
    • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
    • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. In a medium pot, bring figs, sugar, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Reduce to a rapid simmer and cook, partially covered, until figs are tender and liquid is reduced, 20 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is syrupy, 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cook's Note

Pair this fruity, sweet-tart compote with the rich short ribs. It's also great with roast pork and chicken.
