Honey Poached Figs image

This quick, no-bake, gluten-free dessert is refreshing after a heavy meal or as a summer treat. Serve it with anything from whipped cream or mascarpone to cheesecakes, crepes, and pavlovas.

Provided by Shiran

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups water
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown or granulated sugar
1/2 vanilla bean (, split lengthwise and seeded (optional))
1 cinnamon stick ((optional))
8 figs

Steps:

  • In a small or medium saucepan that's large enough to hold the figs, heat water, honey, and sugar (and vanilla and cinnamon, if using) on medium-high. Cook until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and add figs. Let simmer until tender but not mushy, 5-10 minutes, turning them occasionally so that each side is poached evenly. Using a slotted spoon, transfer figs to a bowl. Let the water-honey liquid continue simmering on medium-low heat until liquid reduces and thickens to a syrup consistency, about 15 more minutes. Let cool.
  • Once the figs have cooled slightly, remove stems and cut in half.
  • Keep sauce and figs in the refrigerator until ready to use. Serve at room temperature.
  • Arrange figs and serve as desired. Figs can be served either a dollop of whipped cream, mascarpone, crème fraiche, or yogurt, or alongside desserts such as cake, cheesecake, or crepes. Drizzle with syrup.

FRESH FIGS WITH HONEY SAUCE



Fresh Figs With Honey Sauce image

Poach fresh figs with honey and spices for an incredible dessert. The sauce is very sweet, add a touch of balsamic vinegar if you prefer something less sweet. Cut a hole in the top of the fig so that the sauce can get inside, and the insides of the fig can combine with the sauce. Note this recipe only works with fresh figs, it will not reconstitute dried figs.
