Ripe, softened figs are mashed with hot red pepper flakes and lemon juice, then thickened with chia seeds. Chilled in the refrigerator without cooking, this mixture is a no-added-sugar way to use up extra figs.
Remove the stems from the ripe figs and roughly mash them in a bowl with a fork or blender.
Mix the red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and cinnamon into the mashed figs.
Sprinkle the chia seeds over the mixture and stir well. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes so it can begin to gel.
Transfer the mixture to a jar and refrigerate for at least 20 more minutes, until fully thickened.
Chia seeds can clump soon after they are mixed in, so stir occasionally during the first 10 minutes. No known allergens are listed for this recipe.
