When it's too hot outside to cook, ice cream for dinner sounds like a perfect plan. But not plain old ice cream of course. It needs this luscious and easy Fig and Bourbon Topping. Only three ingredients and you can make it in minutes in the microwave. There's no need to even turn on the stove. Top your sundae off with a little fresh fruit, some granola, maybe a few nuts or whatever else you're feeling and you've pretty much got all of your basic food groups covered, or maybe not, but it's ok!
If you're wondering what to do with all that leftover bourbon...mix it with some with lemonade or ginger beer for a cool cocktail. I'll be experimenting with some simple summer cocktails with mine, so stay tuned!

1 (6-ounce) jar Dalmatia Fig Spread with Orange or Dalmatia Fig Spread - Original
1 to 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions:
Spoon Fig Spread into microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High for 30 seconds. Stir in bourbon and microwave on High 1 minute, stirring once halfway through cooking. Add butter and stir until completely melted.

Oh and this spread isn't only for ice cream. Spoon over yogurt, fruit, cakes and more! It's so easy and delicious I'm sure you'll find plenty of great uses for it.
If you have any leftover, this topping will keep for several weeks. Just keep it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Putting it back into the Dalmatia jar works well since the jars are just so pretty.
This also makes a lovely gift for the holidays or when visiting friends for summer barbecues. Pour the mixture into a ball jar and tie a pretty ribbon around the outside and you are good to go.
