Title: Gingered Fig Confections
Categories: Desserts, Candies
Yield: 24 pieces

1/2 c Orange juice
2 tb Orange-flavored liqueur
1 ts Ground ginger
2 c California dried figs
3/4 c Chocolate chips
1 tb Milk

Combine orange juice, liqueur and ground ginger in small saucepan. Bring
to boil; add figs. Simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes, until all
liquid is absorbed. Cool completely. Melt chocolate with milk in top of
double boiler. Holding figs by stem, blot each with paper towel, then dip
in melted chocolate, coating completely. Place on waxed paper lined
baking sheet. Chill until chocolate is firm.

NOTE: These figs stay semi-soft on outside, so to store, keep them
separated.
