Preparation

1. Cut the figs into cubes. In a saucepan with a thick bottom, cook them on a low flame until they excrete the liquids.

2. Add the sugar, mint leaves and cocoa and continue cooking on a low flame until you get a thick concoction — about 30 minutes. To check if the confectionery is ready, pour one tablespoon of the liquid on a plate — the consistency should be like that of jam. If the pharmacy is not thick enough, continue cooking.

3. When the confectionery is ready, add the vodka to it and cook for another 3 minutes.

4. Transfer the confectionery to the sterilized jars. Before closing them, dip the circles of baking paper in vodka and place them on the openings of the jars.
