20 California dried figs
3 c Cold water
1 tb Light molasses
2 ts Powdered ginger
1/2 c Sugar
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. Serves 5 or 6.
Wonderful with ham, pork, chicken, steak or roast beef!
