Recipe - Gingered Figs

20 California dried figs
3 cup Cold water
1 tablespoon Light molasses
2 teaspoon Powdered ginger
One half cup Sugar

Place figs and water in saucepan. Bring to hard boil, then lower heat and
simmer. Cover figs and cook for 20 minutes. Add molasses, ginger and
sugar. Stir gently in order to avoid breaking figs. Simmer for 15
minutes more or until figs are plumped and tender. Serves 5 or 6.
