Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 vanilla bean , split in half lengthwise
1 8- oz package dried calimyrna figs, stemmed , halved lengthwise
1/3 cup dried tart cherries (about 1 3/4 oz)
3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt (optional)

Add figs and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add dried tart cherries; cover and simmer until figs and dried cherries are tender, about 10 minutes longer.
