Homemade Fig Compote

This is the recipe I used this time for the pork roast, if you have a better one or one you already use feel free to use it.

Taken from Rebecca Woods web site

1 cup dried figs, with woody stems removed

1 cup apple, or orange juice ( I used a bottle of leftover sparking cider)

1 star anise, 2 whole cloves or 1 small cinnamon stick

Place figs, spice and  juice in a small saucepan.  Let them soak for about 10 minutes, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 15 minutes or until fruit is plump and tender.  Remove figs and simmer liquid uncovered for 5 minutes or until syrupy.  Remove and discard spice.  Process in food processor.
