  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2   c            Orange juice
   2       tb           Orange-flavored liqueur
   1       t            Ground ginger
   2       c            California dried figs
     3/4   c            Chocolate chips
   1       tb           Milk

  Combine orange juice, liqueur and ground ginger in small saucepan.
  Bring to boil; add figs.  Simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes,
  until all liquid is absorbed.  Cool completely.  Melt chocolate with
  milk in top of double boiler. Holding figs by stem, blot each with
  paper towel, then dip in melted chocolate, coating completely.  Place
  on waxed paper lined baking sheet.  Chill until chocolate is firm.

  NOTE: These figs stay semi-soft on outside, so to store, keep them
  separated.
