Fig Compote

Wash the figs

Place them in a pot covered with water mixed with baking soda

Let it simmer for 15 minutes

Turn off the heat, cover the pot and let it cool

After the figs have cooled, place them in a plastic bag and refrigerate

After refrigeration, remove and wash under running water, scrubbing well to remove skin

Make a small cross cut on each one so that the broth can penetrate into the figs

Place the figs back in the pot covered with water and let it simmer for 25 minutes

Broth

Mix the sugar, water, and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil without stirring for 10 minutes or until the broth thickens slightly

Remove the figs from the boiling water and place them in the sugar broth

Let it simmer for another 30 minutes

Turn off the heat and let it sit covered until cool

Serve with white cheese.
