Missy Wombat's Note:

How can you go wrong with two of my favourite ingredients? From the Creative Gourmet company. Serve hot with crepes, hot cakes, steamed pudding etc or chilled with ice cream, chocolate cake, cheesecake and the like.

Thank you so much for this OUTSTANDING FIG SAUCE! It's so easy to make & has such great taste! I made this specifically as a topping for another recipe I was making [Figgy Pudding] & together they were wonderful! Thanks for a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed just for the 'halibut!']
