Publix grocery stores had buy one, get one free this week on Brown Turkey & Black Mission figs. Since my trees are still young and I don't harvest much more than enough to eat a fig or a few at a time, I picked up several pounds planning on making some preserves. Well, I got to experimenting tonight and modified another recipe with what I had on hand and, I'm not much of a dessert eater, but the result was pretty darn good! Below is my Black Mission Figs Simmered in Honey Cabernet Sauce: Although, the pic didn't come out great and they didn't last long enough to take a second one, here it is served with some home-made Grand Marnier Whipped Cream: The Grand Marnier in the whipped cream was a little overkill and it would be even better with vanilla ice cream! __________________ ============================ [B]Figaro Zone 10b - South Florida[/I] Growing: Black Mission, Strawberry Verte, LSU Hollier, LSU Purple, LSU Scotts Black, Cajun Gold, Panachee, Excel, UCR 291-4, UCR 143-36, Violette de Bordeaux, Ronde de Bordeaux, Calvert, Black Madeira, Col De Dame Blanc Wish List: CdDN, CdDG, Ischia Black, Galicia Negra ============================

Looks so good! I have three figs that may mature this fall and one will be eaten fresh but this recipe would due justice to the other two...
