Too rushed in the morning for a homemade meal? No problem. Cook a batch of this delicious fig spread one evening—it takes just 25 minutes to prepare—and store it in the refrigerator. You will thank yourself in the morning when you have something that tastes special but didn’t take much time to prepare. Slather this fig spread on a toasted whole-wheat English muffin or stir it into a bowl of oatmeal or yogurt. Or spice up a basic charcuterie board at your next gathering by adding a small bowl to serve with crackers, cheese, fruit, and sliced meats.
