Recipe #82: Fig Butter

Makes about 1 cup.

Spread it on toast on muffins instead of butter; it’s lower in fat and calories and contains calcium,
iron and fibre. Use soft dried figs and remove the tips.

1-1/2 cups chopped dried figs
1 cup orange juice
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp lemon juice


In saucepan, combine figs, orange juice, cinnamon stick, lemon rind and juice.

Cover, bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until figs are very soft, 40 to 50 minutes.

Discard cinnamon stick.

Puree in food processor until smooth.
