Raspberries and figs make an extraordinary combination. Recipe adapted from
Breakfast in Bed (HarperCollins, 1997).

In large saucepan, combine apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves and
mint leaf. Bring to a simmer over mediumlow hear. Cook, uncovered for 10
minutes, reducing liquid by onethird. Add figs and simmer, covered, until
very soft, about 10 to 15 minutes.

With slotted spoon, remove figs to serving bowl. Strain the juice and
return to pan. Reduce it by half over high heat until it becomes somewhat
syrupy. Top figs with raspberries and drizzle with a lit. tie of the
reduced syrup.
