Ingredients
- 2 pounds figs a mix of purple and green

- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Small sprig of fresh rosemary optional here but it's a lovely addition
Instructions
- Remove the fig stems and dice the fresh figs into small, ¼ inch pieces.
- Add the diced figs to a large, nonreactive saucepan or pot. Add the maple sugar, lemon juice, rosemary sprig, and ground cinnamon and stir to combine.
- Place the pot over medium high heat and cook the fruit down, stirring regularly, for about 15 to 20 minutes until the figs have broken down and thicken to a deep reddish color.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Remove rosemary sprig and discard.
