Miele di fichi (fig honey)

Sweet sauces
miele di fichi (fig honey)

Not actually honey, but a honey-like syrup made from dried figs - an age-old recipe from Puglia in southern Italy. Traditionally used in pastry-making, such as for cartellate, beautiful crinkle-edged little pastries, it is also well-suited to roast meats (try it as a glaze for roast pork or duck), particularly game. It's wonderful for dessert with ice cream or as part of an after-dinner cheese plate and it makes a nice alternative to honey for vegans.
