Think figs for your dishes or drinks!
Figs are a delicious, sweet fruit often used in various culinary creations. Figs are a popular ingredient in the kitchen and bar, from jams to cocktails.
A good combination of sweet and savoury
Fig jam is not only delicious on toast, bread and as a topping on ice cream, but it is also a perfect addition to cheese and crackers. Due to the sweet taste of figs, the jam goes well with savoury dishes. Fortunately, making fig jam is easy and requires only a few ingredients: figs, sugar and lemon juice. Cooking the figs and sugar to a thick, syrupy consistency can take a while, but the result is worth it. Fig jam's rich and full flavour goes well with sweet and savoury dishes. Whether you spread it on toast, serve it with a cheese board or add it to a dessert, fig jam is a deliciously sweet and fruity treat you can use in various ways.
Fig cocktails: delicious drinks with a sweet twist
Figs are also an excellent ingredient for cocktails. One of the most popular fig cocktails is the "Figs in Space." This cocktail consists of fig puree, vodka, lemon juice, sugar syrup and thyme. The figs are pureed and mixed with the other ingredients to create a delicious, refreshing cocktail perfect for a summer day. The thyme adds a spicy touch that goes perfectly with the sweet taste of the figs. Another delightful cocktail with figs is the Fig and Bourbon Sour. Here you mix bourbon, fresh lemon juice, fig jam and an egg white in a shaker with ice. After shaking, strain and serve in a whiskey glass with ice and a fig wedge for decoration. The fig jam gives the cocktail a sweet and complex flavour that pairs well with bourbon's warm and woody taste.
