Kind of tastes like prune extract/jam but with crunchy seeds. I could finish a whole round of brie with this..

It is good over ice cream too. You can make a vinaigrette out of it. Try it on a <a href="http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/heirloom-tomato-salad/" rel="nofollow">fresh tomato salad</a> or in this <a href="http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/pomegranate-salad-recipe/" rel="nofollow">pomegranate salad</a>. Just substitute in the fig/balsamic, maybe reducing the amount just a bit since it is more concentrated. Hope that helps. Hi Robyn,

I am from central europe and I bought a bottle of fig balsamic in USA last autumn - and I am running out of it! I love it so much, I started to panic - what would I do without something sooooooo good? Between so many recipes how to cook with fig balsamic I finally found a recipe how to cook the fig balsamic as itself :) I am looking forward to the summer to buy some fresh figs and make it by myself. It's totaly unknown product here, I am going to amaze and enlighten all my friends with it :) THANK YOU SO MUCH for this recipe!

You could make a fig puree out of the dried figs. Probably a little less than a cup of water for two cups of dried figs. Put the figs in a blender or food processor, add about half the water, start blending, then keep adding water until you've reached the consistency you want. Good luck!

Lucky for me I can get many more and try this recipe again. I found the vanilla taste over whelming. Is it supposed to have such a strong vanilla taste or is one tsp. too much? <em>No, the vanilla taste shouldn't be noticeable. We've made this recipe many times, and have double checked the measurements, but its never had a noticeable vanilla taste. However, every fig variety varies in sweetness and strength, so adjustments always need to be made for one's local produce. I don't think we've made this recipe with mission figs. Usually we use our tree (strawberry figs) or turkeys. Try cutting it in half, or even leave it out & see how it works for you. -WORC</em> I made the fig balsamic with mission figs from my sister’s tree.
