Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas mark 6).

Butter the tin and line it with the puff pastry.
Prick the base with a fork.
Cover with a circle of greaseproof paper and weigh down with baking beans to keep the pastry flat.

Meanwhile, make a jam with the figs.
In a saucepan, simmer 4 of the figs with the sugar and water over a low heat until the liquid becomes very syrupy.
Pour into the main bowl and blend for one minute.
