Method

Pare the rind from the lemon using a zester or vegetable peeler and cut into very thin strips.

Place the lemon rind, honey, cinnamon stick, cardamom pod and 350ml/12fl oz/1½ cups water in a pan and boil, uncovered, for about 10 minutes until reduced by about half.

Cut the pears into eighths, discarding the core. Leave the peel on or discard as preferred. Place in the syrup, add the figs and simmer for 5 minutes until the fruit is tender.

Transfer the fruit to a serving bowl. Continue cooking the liquid until syrupy, then discard the cinnamon stick and pour over the figs and pears.
