Roasted Figs

• 份量: 6 servings

配料

1 pound (450g) fresh figs

4-6 branches fresh thyme (optional)

2 tablespoons red or white wine or a liquor (such as Chartreuse, Pernod, Grand Marnier or Cointreau)

1 tablespoon dark or light brown sugar

2 tablespoons honey

1 slice of lemon

步骤

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).

Slice the stem end off the figs and slice each in half lengthwise.

Toss the figs in a large baking dish with the thyme (if using), red wine or liquor, brown sugar, honey, and lemon slice. Make sure when you're done the figs are in a single layer.

For figs that are softer and juicier, cover the baking dish snugly with foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the figs are softened and cooked through. Times will vary depending on ripeness and the variety of figs.

When done, remove the baking dish from oven, lift off the foil, and let the figs cool completely.
