By itself this is a pretty basic recipe for figs-stewed-until-they are-thick. The maple syrup is a subtle but good sweetener for them. I didn't have any Mission figs, so I used Kalimyrna. They were as old as the hills so I had to stew them for twice as long as suggested in the recipe, and add a bit more water. This is supposed to be served over [recipe=84117]Shredded Lamb Tagine[/recipe] which is what I did and Wow! it really is a great taste combination.
