There are some fig trees in my garden. One of them is an old species that has been planted and harvested from very old times in Japan. These days I can get some fruits of that fig tree. It was like one in one day until last week, but the number increases these days. At time of this morning, I had six of them, and I thought they were a little more for eating fresh. So, I decided making Fig Compote.
They were 314 grams. Of course, the weight of container is deducted.
A cooking recipe on the web read the sugar should be 30 to 40 percent of the weight of fig. So, I just used beet sugar of one-third weight.
I had red wine, but not lemon juice. So, I poured one spoon of apple vinegar though I was not sure if it could be an alternative. Putting the pan on the gas stove, I heated it for fifteen minutes or so.
I think the color is beautiful but don’t know the taste because I haven’t eaten it yet. Once it has cooled, I will put it in the refrigerator.
