Fig Brandy Liquor
Fig Brandy Liquor
Steve Lister
Fruit liquors are delicious and warming at the same time. All you need is some good quality dry fruits, your choice of a reasonable quality brandy and some patience. Fruits soaked in liquor can be eaten in all sorts of desserts, including simply with a good ice-cream.
Ingredients
500 gm. dried figs (the soft type)
5 tsp. sugar
1 heaped tbsp. runny honey
70 cl (700 ml. or 1 bottle) brandy
A sterilised Kilner jar (a jar with sealable, screw top lid)
Instructions
Place all the ingredients in the jar and mix well.
Close/seal the lid and leave in the fridge for a month, giving an occasional gentle shake.
After the time has passed, decant into a bottle. You might want to sieve/filter it, I didn't and it was fine.
Save the figs for desserts/cooking, but remember they are soaked in brandy!
