I'm not sure what went wrong, but my syrup didn't thicken. It stayed very runny.

I'm allergic to honey. Can I use another sweetener in the syrup?

The figs were a bit tough. I think I poached them for too long.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey in the syrup.
