Take:

1lb of unripe figs (or as many can be harvested)
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
5 heaped tablespoons of golden syrup
1 1/2 pints of water

Boil this slowly for approx 35 mins, adding more water to keep the mix from drying out. When the figs are soft and the water absorbed, serve with ice cream, sprinkled with cinnamon.

I have never tried this recipe, having just created it, but would be interested to know how it turns out.
