With the fig trees covered in fresh leaves I decided to make
some fig liqueur. I picked 13 fig leaves
of fairly equal size washed them and cooked them in syrup.

The end result smelled and tasted like green fig preserve
and I realised why the recipes for green fig preserve always require that one
adds leaves to the cooking process. The leaves improve the flavour and colour
of the preserve.

After the syrup had cooled completely, I added the required
spirits and bottled the beautiful light green liqueur that should be ready by
Christmas.
Sounds amazing! Perhaps a dash over some ice-cream as a pudding would be nice.
