Doug’s Dynamic Drivel

I created a new dessert this weekend that turned out really good

Ingredients

• 1 cup Sugar
• ½ cup Water
• ½ cup Gewüztraminer White Wine
• 3 whole Cloves
• 1 whole Green Cardamom pod crushed
• 1 whole Allspice
• 12 Fresh Green Figs
• Chevre goat cheese ¹

Method
Combine the first six ingredients and bring to a boil (you are making a sugar syrup). Once boiling and the foam has receded (the wine will cause it to foam) add the figs. Cook until the figs turn yellow. Remove the figs and keep boiling the syrup. Reduce by half to make a thick syrup. Remove the spices.

Serve
Place about 2 tablespoons of Chevre cheese on a plate and add 3 of the figs. Drizzle a little of the syrup over both the figs and the cheese. Serves 4.
