\"Figs <\/p>\n

Late Summer figs have a richer, more concentrated flavor than the Spring crop, almost jam-like. Unfortunately their season lasts only a few weeks. Fromage frais accentuates their ruby-pink sweetness, and a drizzle of lavender honey adds subtle floral notes. Such an uncomplicated dessert to make, but the ingredients blend together to produce a sophisticated whole. Black mission figs work best for this recipe. Almond Sables<\/a> would make a delicious, crisp accompaniment. <\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/H3>
\n<\/p>\n
    \n
  • 12 ripe black figs<\/li>\n
  • 1 tub (approx 7 oz) Fromage Frais<\/span><\/li>\n
  • French lavender honey<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>\n

    Wash and pat the figs dry. Cut off the stems, then cut a deep cross in each fig from the top down, but not so far down that the fig is cut in half. <\/p>\n

    Gently pinch the bottom of each fig until the cut sections spread apart a little (don’t pinch too hard or the fig may fall apart!), then place a small spoonful of fromage frais in the center. Arrange 3 figs on each of four small plates. <\/p>\n

    Just before serving, drizzle the stuffed figs with the honey. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
