Sugar High Friday Celebrates the Fig

Filed in archive Food Blogosphere , Recipes by Jennifer on September 24, 2007

Ivonne at Cream Puffs in Venice is hosting the 35th edition of Sugar High Fridays, "an event to celebrate all that is sweet in our lives."
The theme ingredient: The beautiful fig.

What a perfect choice! Figs are succulent and sweet on their own, so even the simplest of preparations brings out their luscious flavors.

I chose to simply broil the figs in a brandy, honey and cinnamon saucelinks. The fig's texture remained intact and the fig's sweetness was complimented by the honey.

Brandy and Honey Figs

serves 4

a dozen ripe figs
3 tablespoons butter, divided into 12 pieces
6 tablespoons clear, mild flavored honey
4 tablespoons brandy
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
a handful chopped, shelled almonds (optional)
a dollop of mascarpone for each serving

Pre-heat broiler to medium.
Wash and pat dry each fig.
Cut a cross down the center of each fig, without cutting all the way through, and gently open like a flower.
Put a piece of butter in the center of each fig and place in a baking dish.
Drizzle the brandy over, followed by the honey.
Sprinkle the cinnamon over, followed by the optional almonds.
Broil about 5-10 minutes or until the brandy, butter and honey have made a nice, sticky sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
Serve warm, with mascarpone.
