Preparation

Step 1

Put the figs and 1/3 cup of the sugar into a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, to break down the figs to a jam-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Transfer the figs to a large bowl and place in fridge to a chill.

In another small saucepan, combine the cream, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan and chill thoroughly.

When both the fig and dairy mixtures are cold, combine them and whisk in the vanilla. Process in ice cream maker and transfer to airtight container to freeze completely.
