Step 1
Cut the stems off the figs and quarter them. Put them in a pot with the water, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Step 2
Bring the figs and water to a boil on medium high heat. As you are waiting for it to heat up, add the honey, spices, and salt, and stir to combine.
Step 3
After it has come to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Once it has reduced down to a slightly jammy consistency, use an immersion blender to blend it into a smooth butter.
Step 5
Continue cooking on low heat, stirring almost constantly, for about 10 more minutes, or until it has reached the desired consistency.
Step 6
Let the fig butter cool for a bit before putting in into jars or containers. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
