FIG & BOURBON COMPOTE RECIPE

Provided by á-10254

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup apple cider
2/3 cup bourbon
1 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
10 oz. dried Mission figlets (about 2 cups), halved

Steps:

  • Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir in figlets and let stand 10 minutes. Bring figlet mixture to a simmer; cook 10 minutes or until soft. Transfer figlets to a medium bowl using a slotted spoon. Simmer liquid until thickened and reduced by half (about 4 minutes). Pour liquid over figlets. Serve warm, or store in refrigerator up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use ripe figs: The best figs for compote are ripe, but not too soft. Overripe figs will break down too much in the cooking process.
  • Choose a good quality bourbon: The bourbon you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the compote. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat or on the rocks.
  • Don't overcook the compote: The compote is done when the figs are softened and the sauce has thickened. Overcooking will make the figs mushy and the sauce too thick.
  • Let the compote cool completely: The compote will thicken as it cools. If you serve it warm, it will be more runny.
  • Garnish the compote with fresh herbs or whipped cream: This will add a touch of elegance and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Fig bourbon compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It can also be used as a filling for pies or tarts. Or, simply enjoy it on its own as a snack. No matter how you choose to serve it, fig bourbon compote is sure to be a hit.
