POACHED FIGS IN SPICED HONEY SYRUP
Steps:
- Combine water, sugar and honey in heavy large skillet. Stir over low heat until sugar and honey dissolve. Add allspice, cloves and juniper berries. Bring to simmer.

- Bring cooking liquid to boil. Boil until reduced to syrup consistency, about 5 minutes. Strain. Cool.
- Arrange figs in dessert goblets. Drizzle syrup over. Garnish with mint and serve.
