1. 01

   Cut the Figs

   Trim off any hard bits of the fig stalks. Then, slice each fig in half lengthwise.
2. 02

   Arrange Figs in Pan

   Place the fig halves, cut-side up, in a small frying or sauté pan. Pour the 150 ml water around them.
3. 03

   Simmer the Figs

   Set the pan over medium heat and let the figs cook through. They're ready when they become noticeably soft, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Carefully remove the cooked figs from the pan and arrange them on a serving dish.

   Make the Syrup

   You'll have a reddish, fig-infused water left in the pan. Add the 60 g sugar to this liquid, keeping the pan over medium heat.

   Stir continuously for a couple of minutes, watching as the liquid thickens into a glossy syrup. Once it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove the pan from the heat.
