  • 1 cup chopped dried figs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2/3 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese


  1. Combine figs and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, and liquid has reduced. Remove from heat, and stir in the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, thyme, and cayenne. Add olives and garlic, and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to blend.
