Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in non-aluminum saucepan, bring to a simmer. Cook approximately 45 minutes on low (juices will be reduced by about half and figs will be soft). You may want to add additional pomegranate juice, sugar or vinegar in the cooking process to produce a sweet but tart flavor. Strain liquid into a smaller pan, pressing figs through the sieve to get the jam from the fruit. Sauce should be the consistency of syrup. Makes about 3/4 cup of sauce.
