The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

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!
