This is delicious spread on crackers or a sliced baguette with a smear of blue cheese. It can also be used as a topping for a wheel of warm brie. It’s important to use a good quality aged balsamic vinegar in this recipe.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 2 cups chopped fresh Black Mission figs
- ¼ cup aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; stir onion in the hot oil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover saucepan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and caramel-colored, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 2
Stir figs into onion; cook and stir until figs begin to lose their shape and have softened into onion, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour balsamic vinegar into fig-onion mixture; cook until all the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, into fig-onion mixture until desired sweetness is reached. Serve warm or chilled.
