POACHED FIGS IN SPICED HONEY SYRUP
M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger, Food TV
3 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
12 allspice berries
12 cloves
12 juniper berries
12 fresh slightly unripe figs
Fresh mint sprigs
Combine water, sugar and honey in heavy large skillet. Stir over low heat
until sugar and honey dissolve. Add allspice, cloves and juniper berries.
Bring to simmer. Add figs, cover and simmer until figs are just tender,
about 20 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer figs to bowl. Chill until
cold.
Bring cooking liquid to boil. Boil until reduced to syrup consistency,
about 5 minutes. Strain. Cool.
Arrange figs in dessert goblets. Drizzle syrup over. Garnish with mint and
serve.
