Sweet Baked Figs

Ingredients

 

12 figs, fresh

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil or vegetable oil

4 teaspoons honey or pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons butter or marg., cold, cut into 12

pieces

2 tablespoons water

1 pint vanilla ice cream (optional)

 

Directions

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the stems off the

figs. Rub the oil over

the figs and put them in a baking pan, stem-side up.

Cut a cross in the top

of each fig, cutting almost to the bottom. Drizzle the

honey over the figs.

Top each one with a piece of the butter. Bake the figs

until they open up

like flowers, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the

oven. Put the figs on

plates, add the water to the pan, return the pan to

the oven for 1 minute,

and then stir to make a sauce. Drizzle the sauce over

the warm figs and

serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
