Best 6 Fresh Figs With Mascarpone And Warm Spiced Honey Recipes

FIGS WITH MASCARPONE AND HONEY

Steps:

• Wipe the figs with a clean kitchen towel and cut off the stems. Slice the figs in half and arrange them in a circle on a platter, overlapping them slightly. In the center, pile up the mascarpone.
• Pour the honey over the figs in a very thin stream (if necessary, heat the honey to thin it out). Serve immediately with thin sugar cookies.

FRESH FIGS WITH MASCARPONE AND WARM SPICED HONEY

Steps:

• Arrange the figs cut-side up among four plates. Use the back of a teaspoon to gently press into the center of the flesh and create a small indentation.
• Add a dollop of mascarpone to the center of each fig half and set plates aside.
• Place honey and spices in a small heat-proof bowl and set over a pan with simmering water. Cook over medium heat, whisking to blend, until the honey is liquefied and warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle honey over each fig, garnish plates with mint sprigs, and serve immediately.

GLAZED FIGS WITH MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• For the cream: In an electric mixer whip the mascarpone until smooth. Continue whipping and slowly add the cream in a steady stream. Add the sugar and whip for 3 minutes.
• For the figs: In a small pot combine the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and zest.
• Boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Toss the figs with the glaze and spread, cut side up, in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Cook under the broiler for 6 to 8 minutes, until lightly caramelized. Serve the warm figs with the mascarpone cream and toasted walnuts.

GRILLED HONEY-ORANGE FIGS WITH MASCARPONE AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. Whisk together 3 tablespoons honey and the orange juice in a small bowl. Brush the honey-orange mixture generously over the figs and then skewer figs. Grill, cut side down, until just starting to caramelize, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle remaining tablespoon honey over top. Dollop with mascarpone and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve.

FRESH FIGS WITH HONEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim the stems off the figs and make a small hole in the top.
• Combine water, honey, cloves and allspice in a pot and bring to a boil.
• Put figs in the pot and simmer, covered for 15 minutes, until almost done.
• Remove figs and reduce sauce for 10 minutes.
• Put the figs back in the sauce and reduce until desired consistency, around 5 more minutes.
• Stir in balsamic vinegar (if using).

SPICED BAKED FIGS WITH GINGER MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay the figs in an ovenproof roasting dish, dot over the butter and drizzle with honey. Sprinkle over the sugar and cinnamon, then pour over the orange juice and mix lightly. Nestle the star anise amongst the figs and roast for 15-20 minutes.
• When ready to serve, mix the ginger and syrup through the mascarpone. Place 4 fig halves, drizzled with syrup, on a plate with a dollop of mascarpone and some shortbread fingers.
