A sideboard was located at the
side off the banquet hall. Cheeses, cold cuts and sweets were laid out for the
household to nibble between meals. The Mayordomo might have ordered this dish
for sweet tooths!

Preparation
Cut off the stems of mature figs.
Slice the figs in half.
Select a glazed earthenware basin
or pot, which used to be called búrnia
or albúrnia (see alboronía). Line it with a layer of rose petals. Sprinkle with sugar
and add layer of figs, followed by another of rose petals, sugar and figs. Repeat
until there are no more figs.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum
foil. Secure with masking tape if necessary. Place the lid over this. Let it
sit 15-20 days.
The figs should become sticky with
the syrup they give off during this time and the petals will become impregnated
with the aroma of roses. Then this mixture is ready.
The preparations can be made with
dried or fresh figs. The latter are recommended.
