2 tablespoons brown sugar

‍

Apple-Fig Glaze

2 cups Six13 fig & apple liqueur

Applesauce

Add all ingredients to a pot and cook over low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. Adjust seasoning with salt and additional cinnamon, if desired.

Apple-Fig Glaze

Add ingredients to a saucepan and reduce by one-half to three-fourths. The mixture should resemble a syrup. Drizzle the glaze over pork chops and serve alongside the applesauce. Makes 2 servings.
