Ingredients

• 8-10 fresh figs, halved or quartered

• 2 tbsp. (30 g) butter

• 2-3 tbsp. (40-60 g) honey

• 1/2 tsp. (2 g) dried lavender buds, finely minced

• a pinch of salt (optional)

Directions

• Add the butter to a skillet, preferably a heavy-bottomed one, and melt it over low-medium heat.  
• Next, pour the honey, lavender, and salt (if using). Let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
• Now, place the figs in the sauce. Simmer, gently flipping them, for a few minutes until soft and caramelized. Cooking time depends on the ripeness, but it should not take more than 4-5 minutes, or even less, if the fruit is very ripe. Remember, after the turning heat off, the figs will continue to cook from the residual heat.
• Turn off the heat. Serve the figs warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
