Recipe is created for
TM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip
I've made many variation of fig paste over the years, but this is the most consistent. I didn't bother with final whip.
I also replaced brandy with vermouth, so choose your desired alcohol
