Fig-Sap-Infused Honey Dressing

Collecting fig sap for culinary or natural remedy purposes is fascinating! Fig sap, while potent, has traditional uses due to its enzymes and unique compounds. Here’s a simple recipe that uses a minimal amount for flavor:

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp fig milky sap (use sparingly, as fig sap is strong and can be an irritant)
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.
2. Carefully add a small amount of fig sap (1 tsp max). Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
3. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
4. Drizzle over salads or roasted vegetables for a subtle, earthy sweetness.
