Directions
Begin by re-hydrating the figs.
In a large mixing bowl add the figs, honey, lemon juice and cover with warm water.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 20 to 25 minutes until the figs are tender and soft.
Strain the figs and reserve the liquid - as this will be the base for the glaze.
