This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This recipe turned out delicious, but I made some changes. First of all, I removed the lemon before processing and drained the figs. This seemed like a lot of water so I figured if I drained the figs, I could add back what liquid I needed of which I ended up adding back about half. Then I added the sugar and heated briefly to melt the sugar - Yum!
