Figs cooked in molasses and ginger are great with ham, pork, chicken, steak, or roast beef.

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 20 dried figs
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 1 Tablespoon light molasses
  • 2 teaspoons powdered ginger
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Preparation:

Place figs and water in saucepan. Bring to hard boil, then lower heat and simmer. Cover figs and cook for 20 minutes. Add molasses, ginger, and sugar. Stir gently in order to avoid breaking figs. Simmer for 15 minutes more or until figs are plumped and tender.

Wonderful with ham, pork, chicken, steak, or roast beef.
