Recipe: Baked Black Mission Figs
posted by Mighty Staff
A beautiful and simple fig preparation. Experiment with different dessert wines, the ones with floral notes seem to work particularly well in concert with these figs. Look for ripe figs that give a little. Small cracks in the skin are ok.
Baked Black Mission Figs
Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Remove stems and cut each fig from top to tail. Nestle them cut side up in a well-buttered baking dish (or you can do servings in individual ramekins). Sprinkle the figs with your favorite sweet dessert wine, and then dust them generously with a moist, dark evaporated cane sugar. Bake for 10 or 15 minutes or until the figs are tender. Serve hot alongside a rich, creamy, all-natural (preferably homemade) vanilla ice-cream. For a real treat infuse that vanilla ice-cream (base) with a bit of rose geranium.
