Fresh Fig and Honey Compote

Fresh figs are very hard to come by in my neck of the woods.  So when my sister-in-law gave me a few, I was pretty excited to cook up something wonderful.

I was looking for some jelly or jam and apparently we are out.  I am out of a lot of things, but I had fresh figs, go figure.

Jam doesn’t seem like something I could throw together while trying to balance my checkbook, so I decided to try my hand at a compote.

Honestly, I had never made a compote or even eaten a compote, it seemed a little more like something off of Top Chef rather than what normally comes out of my kitchen. But it was really simple, and totally delicious.

Of course the kids thought I was making pig compost, not fig compote.  That’s okay, more for me!

Anyhow, I spread a little on my whole wheat toast and I am dying to try it over vanilla ice cream, or maybe I will just stand at the counter and eat it with a spoon.  Yes it is that good.
