When fresh figs are in season, this is a delicious way to prepare them. You can serve these figs over ice cream, alongside a slice of sponge cake, or on their own topped with a little heavy cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon. : Serves 4 12 Fresh Black Figs 1 Teaspoon Grated Orange Or Lemon Zest 1/4 Cup Fresh Orange Juice 2 Tablespoons Honey Preheat over to 350 F. Remove stems from figs and arrange the figs in ovenproof dish, pressing down lightly to flatten bottoms so that figs will stand upright. Mix the orange zest, juice, and honey together and pour over the figs. Bake until the figs are tender and the syrup has thickened, about 20 minutes. Cool and serve as desired.
