I have a frend, with a very productive fig tree, who accidentally made fig butter from some of her frozen figs, and reported it was delicious. She was just trying to reduce the quantity to take less freezer space so dumped a frozen mass in a pan, cooked over low heat for a long time, stirring occasionally. Tasted it and thought it was yummy; no sugar needed, she said. I'll try it myself next time I see her and get some of those figs! I did make a fruit sauce with a jar of her frozen figs but was disappointed at its lack of flavor; it was just cooked, mashed a bit, and thickend with a bit of cornstarch; I think the fig butter will be much better with the concentration of flavor from cooking down.
