To make black mission fig-infused bourbon: In a mason jar, add 5 ounces of dried black mission figs, quartered, to 750mL of bourbon. Close the jar and allow to steep in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days until desired flavor is reached. Shake daily. After the infusion has reached desired flavor, fine mesh strain it, label, date and keep refrigerated for optimum flavor.
