    Preparation Steps

    1

    Wash the figs, halve them, and purée in a blender until completely smooth.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 5 minutes.

    3

    Allow the sugar syrup to cool, then stir in the fig purée and lemon juice.

    4

    Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer.

    5

    Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create an icy texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until fully frozen.

    6

    Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly and make it easier to scoop. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and fig slices.
