Bring the liquid to a simmer over low heat and cover the pot. Cook until the figs are tender, about 10 minutes. 3 With a slotted spoon, transfer the figs from the pot to a bowl. Cook the liquid, uncovered, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour the syrup over the figs and let cool. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. Serve slightly chilled.
