Yield: 1 lb

Equipment:

  • 1 - Bowl
  • 1 - Whisk
  • 1 - Parchment Paper

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Butter, room temp
  • 6 ea Preserved Figs, minced
  • 4 tsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon, ground
  • 1 ea Star Anise, ground
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 3 ea Cloves, ground
  • 6 ea Allspice Berries, ground
  • 3 ea Cardamon Pods, ground

Instructions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together
  2. Place mixture into the center of the parchment, and roll into a 1 inch thick log.
  3. Refrigerate
  4. Slice as needed

Notes:

  • Add plastic wrap around the parchment for better storage.
  • Up to the Pinch of Salt is the original recipe, the ingredients that follow are changes I made.
  • I like to grind my own spices, they keep longer as whole spices, and take up less space than having whole and ground for each spice.
  • Vanilla Paste is not to be confused with Vanilla Extract.
  • Star Anise has a Licorice flavor to it, from my experience, you either LOVE or HATE licorice, so add or omit accordingly.
