-===Variations===
-I thought I'd be clever by cutting open the [[figs]] and leaving them to soak in [[rum]] overnight. However, this made them too soggy.  To remedy this, I chopped them up small, then shoved them in the [[dehydrator]], using a drying mat at 60C.  This will make the [[figs]] less wet and hopefully allow them to retain the flavour of the [[rum]], which should be rather stronger than if I had followed the above method.
