Have You Tried Fig Leaf Syrup?

The Holidays are upon us and this is the season we go in search of something different to wow our guests. 

We have just the thing for you with our special fig leaf syrup. Figs are very common in holiday baking. Fig butter, fig pudding, preserved figs, dried  figs and more finds its way into holiday treats and cooking. 

A fig leaf syrup though is completely unexpected. While this syrup simmers the aromas that waft through the kitchen are simply wonderful.

It’s a little green and grassy, but warm and maybe a little tropical, a bit like coconut. The syrup itself tastes unmistakably of figs and can be used in as many things as you can come up with. 

• Drizzle it on oatmeal, cream of wheat or grits for breakfast. 
• It is also a lovely topping for pancakes and waffles. 
• Use it in a cocktail, I want to create something with chocolate vodka and fig leaf syrup.  
• It is delicious on a soft tangy cheese such as a goats cheese. 
• Pair it with a tangy cheese, apple slices, and pistachios for a lovely bruschetta topping.
• Whisk it into a salad dressing. I combined it with olive oil, honey mustard, shallots, salt, pepper, and vinegar to make a delicious salad dressing.
• Add it to some yogurt with fresh fruit and nuts for a healthy snack.
• Make a batch of pumpkin or apple fritters and give them a quick dip in some fig leaf syrup.
