directions
Step 1
Line a loaf pan (really any size in the area of 9-x-5-inch/2L) with plastic wrap.
Step 2
Place the figs, cinnamon, cardamom and orange juice in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the figs are roughly chopped and the juice is absorbed. Transfer this to a bowl and stir in the walnut halves. Spread this into the prepared pan (it will only fill just over an inch/25 mm), cover the top with plastic and press down firmly with a weight, such as another loaf pan. Let this chill for about an hour, then unwrap and slice thinly to place of a cheese board.
