| Madeleine L'Engle (1918--) American author. |

Place figs and water in saucepan. Bring to hard boil, then lower
heat to simmer. Cover and let cook 20 minutes. Add all ingredients
except almonds. Stir gently in order not to break figs. Cover and
simmer again for about 20 minutes or until figs are plump and
transparent. Cool in syrup. Add a little water, if needed, but keep
it rich. Just before serving, insert toasted almond in each fig.
Delicious with roast turkey, baked chicken, beef, pork or ham.
