Time 20m

Yield 8 figs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup hazelnuts
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup scotch or 1/4 cup other whiskey
8 large fresh figs or 12 small fresh figs
butter-flavored cooking spray
mint sprig (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Toast hazelnuts in a 400-degree oven for 5 minutes. Put them in a tea towel and rub them against each other to remove skins. Chop and set aside. Raise oven temperature to 500 degrees F.
  • Combine honey and Scotch whiskey in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring. Turn off heat.
  • Meanwhile, cut off stems of figs then cut in half, lengthwise. Spray an gratin dish large enough to hold all the figs in one layer with butter-flavor spray. Put in figs, cut side up. Drizzle with honey-Scotch mixture. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.
  • Bake 7 to 10 minutes, depending on size, or just until they soften but are not falling apart. Cool to warm and put 4 to 6 fig halves on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon pan juices over figs. If desired, put a mint sprig in the middle.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 fresh figs
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
1 cup chilled heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Prick bottom of each fig several times and stand figs in a buttered 9- to 10-inch flameproof gratin dish or ovenproof skillet. Sprinkle figs with 1/3 cup sugar, then add water to dish.
  • Bake figs in middle of oven, basting twice with pan juices, until tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to stovetop, then add 1/4 cup Grand Marnier and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Remove from heat and carefully ignite pan juices. After flames subside, juices should be syrupy. If pan juices are too thin, transfer figs to a shallow serving bowl, then boil juices until syrupy and slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes, and pour over figs.
  • Beat cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and tablespoon liqueur using an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks.
  • Serve figs, warm or at room temperature, with syrup and cream.
