Pistachio gelato with Fig-Ginger-Caramel sauce


8-10 dried figs
2x1 cm piece of ginger
4 oz ginger ale
2 TB brown sugar

Chop up the dried figs into small pieces and mash them a bit (in a mortar).  Finely grate the giner into a paste.  Add them to a sauce pan with sugar and ginger ale.  Bring to a simmer on low-medium heat.  Let it cook the figs have softened and wilted into the dark brown caramelized sugar sauce.

"Ciao-Bella" pistachio gelato topped with the sauce made for a fantastic desert - made our ordinary wednesday night extra-ordinary!
