This turned out very good. Mine was a goregous magenta color - I must have gotten black figs? I actually cut back on some sugar and added stevia. Also, I pulsed the figs in the food processor so it is actually less chunky than the picture. Great with cheese and a cracker or bread.

We tested this recipe with not-too-sweet Brown Turkey figs; if using sweeter Black Mission figs, you may need to decrease the sugar. The mashed fig mixture can stand as long as overnight.
