16 servings
- 1 ½ lb fresh figs, stems removed, roughly chopped
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Ingredient noteBalsamic vinegar only becomes a problem on a low FODMAP diet in larger amounts; this recipe uses only about 2/3 teaspoon per serving, so it is likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid balsamic vinegar, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the chopped figs, sugar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir to coat the figs evenly, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the sugar begins to dissolve and the figs release some juice.
- 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3–4 minutes. Add the thyme sprig, if using.
