This is brilliant, super easy and works just as well with plums and apricots!
You will need:25g butter, plus extra for greasing
8 large, ripe figs, halved lengthways or fruit of your choice.
2 tbsp demerara sugar
2 tbsp runny honey
Grated zest of 1 orange and a squeeze of juice
200ml extra-thick double cream or you can use a thick yogurt.
1 tsp vanilla extract
75g toasted flaked almonds
To make:Preheat the oven to 200°c/fan 180°c/gas 6. Butter a medium ovenproof dish and
place the figs, cut-side up, in it. Place a dot of butter in the middle of each fig
half, then scatter with the sugar.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, orange juice and half the orange zest, then drizzle over the figs. Place the figs in the oven and bake them for 15 minutes until
sticky and soft.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, lightly whip the cream with the vanilla, then spoon into
a bowl and sprinkle with remaining orange zest.
Divide the figs and syrup among serving bowls and sprinkle with the toasted
flaked almonds. Serve while warm with a generous dollop of the vanilla cream!
