Dulce de brevas
(Brevas en dulce, Brevas caladas)
Dulce de brevas is a traditional dessert made with figs, lime juice, panela sugar, and cinnamon. The figs are slit crosswise on top, then left to soak overnight in a combination of water and lime juice. The following day, they are rinsed and cooked in water with panela sugar and cinnamon sticks until the sugar is dissolved and the concoction has a syrupy texture.
Once prepared, the figs in syrup are usually served with queso fresco on the side.
