Wash and quarter the figs. Place them in a bowl with the lemon juice and set aside.
Boil the 100ml of water in a pan with the sugar. When the sugar has completely dissolved, add the figs and boil over a low heat, stirring from time to time, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until it cools and sets.
