Ingredients
- 200 grams Dried figs
- 100 grams Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, pecans)
- 150 grams Dark brown sugar
- 120 ml Spiced rum
- 200 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the dried figs by slicing them into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Add the chopped figs, water, and dark brown sugar to a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat.
3. Stir the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Add the chopped mixed nuts, spiced rum, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.
6. Continue to simmer for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly and the figs and nuts are well coated.
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for 5-10 minutes. The syrup will thicken further as it cools.
8. Transfer the Fig Nut and Rum Syrup to a sterilized glass jar or container. Allow to cool completely before sealing.
9. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and serve warm or at room temperature.
