I should have known better.!!! Today i made the fig syrup. I made the recipe exactly as per recipe and it produced 1 dessertspoon of syrup. The recipe was attractive as the residue could be used in muffins. However the result was a very nice fig chutney, 1 cup, so all is not lost. This is the second recipe that i have made from this book that doesn't work. the other was the Falafel.
