As promised here is a delicious and so simple recipe that is great for Tu Bishvat or indeed any time you want a lovely dessert.
Ingredients:
- fresh ripe figs
- honey
- balsamic vinegar
- creme fraiche or plain yoghurt
- vegetable oil
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 oC for 20 minutes. (Remember I use a fan oven so you may need a hotter temperature)
- Take your lovely fresh figs and give them a good wash
- Now cut a deep cross shape in the top of each fig so that the bottom of the fruit remains whole, but so that you are able to push out the fruit into 4 ‘corners’, (a bit like a spiky tulip!)
- Place the figs onto a baking tray. I use a silicone liner sheet but this is not essential.
- On to each fig spoon in 1 tsp of runny honey, a few drops of Balsamic vinegar (if you keep kosher make sure it is a kosher approved brand), 1/2 a tsp of vegetable oil.
- Now bake the figs in the oven for about 20 minutes or so.
- Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or plain yoghurt
