Bagdad Frosting

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup figs, cut up small

Instructions

1. Put sugar and water over fire and cook until it will form a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Do not stir the syrup.
2. Add figs and boil up again. When slightly brittle in cold water, remove from fire and beat until it thickens. Spread on cake before it cools. This makes an unusual frosting or filling, and when dropped on waxed paper, a very delicious candy results. Enough frosting for 12 cup cakes.
