What a deal. For $7.99 you get figs, and whiskey to boot -- or, rather, in a boot. Imported from Italy, this boot-shaped decanter holds figs preserved in whiskey; this is strong stuff, so be forewarned. A warm fig over vanilla ice cream by a cozy fireplace could be the start of . . . well, you decide. You can also buy macerated apricots or cherries in an 18-ounce prism-shaped wide-bottomed bottle (the lid doubles as a server) for $15.99. Available at Dairy Fresh Candies, 57 Salem Street (North End), Boston. Call (617) 742-2639.
