Instructions
- 1
Wash the dried figs in warm water for 5 minutes, drain, and halve them.
5 min05:00 - 2
Put 1.5 liters water, the granulated sugar, and the figs in a pot; bring to a boil over medium heat.
- 3
Once it boils, add the cinnamon stick and cloves and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, so the fruit swells and releases its juices.
15 min15:00 - 4
Turn off the heat; add the mastic pounded with granulated sugar and the lemon zest, then stir.
- 5
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and serve cold; you can remove the cinnamon stick and cloves while plating.

💡 Tip: Pounding the mastic with granulated sugar in a mortar keeps it from clumping on the stove and helps it disperse smoothly through the compote. A compote rested overnight in the refrigerator tastes more aromatic the next day.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top, and offer plain Turkish delight or dried apricots alongside.
