Steps:
- Heat 3 cups water, the sugar, honey, and orange strips and grated zest in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and honey have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add figs; cover, and simmer until figs are just tender, about 20 minutes. Gently transfer figs to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- Raise heat to medium-high, and bring syrup to a boil. Cook until syrup has reduced and thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Return figs to pan, and gently toss with syrup to coat. Spoon 1/4 cup ricotta into each of 4 bowls. Divide figs among bowls, and drizzle with syrup. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
PROSCIUTTO-ROASTED FIGS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make a small slit in the side of each fig and stuff a raisin-size piece of cheese in the opening. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each fig to enclose it. Stand the figs on a baking sheet. Bake until the prosciutto melts slightly and forms a skin around the figs, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with honey and season with lots of pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ROASTED FIGS WITH RICOTTA
Figs cooked with honey and cinnamon over ricotta - from Claire Robinson of the Food Network. You can use vanilla yogurt instead of ricotta if you wish, or try them over mixed greens or even on a toasted baguette as a crostini with or without the ricotta. This reminds me of Recipe #186144, which is quite delicious.
