Dried Fig and Marsala Compote

I love having this easy compote in the fridge. I serve it with other cheeses, cold meats and it also goes well with beef and lamb.

200 grams dried figs, stem end trimmed off

¾ cup marsala or port ½ cup water

1 tablespoon honey 2 sprigs thyme zest ½ an orange

Roughly chop the figs and place in a small saucepan along with all the remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes until tender and most of the liquid has cooked off. Cool. Makes about 1½ cups
