Steps:
- Use a sharp knife to mark an "X" on the top of each fig, being careful not to cut more than 3/4 of the way down the fruit.
- Spread open each fig 'blossom', to expose the pink center. Arrange the figs on a platter.
- Use a small spoon to fill each fig with marmalade, Greek yogurt, and honey. Dust with cinnamon.
- Finish with small chunks of herbed chevre, walnut pieces, and fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
- Good with Carr's whole wheat crackers or baguette slices, for a more substantial snack.
- VARIATION: Substitute creme fraiche for the yogurt, mascarpone cheese with lemon zest for the herbed chevre, and green pistachios instead of walnuts. Drizzle with honey and dust with cinnamon -- yum!

FRESH FIGS AND YOGURT
This is from a cookbook entitled "Creative Cooking", and somehow manages to be both refreshing and decadent. It's so good. If you can only get small figs, use a few more; the glasses should be full almost to the top. Why not just make a double batch anyway? I usually do. :) I hope you enjoy this! Please note: Cooking time is chilling time.

Steps:
- Submerge figs in hot (not boiling) water for 1 minute.
- Drain, peel, and quarter each fig.
- Beat the cream lightly, and blend it into the yogurt.
- Spoon a little of the cream mixture into four sherbet glasses.
- Top with a layer of figs and continue with alternating layers, finishing with a layer of cream.
- Sprinkle each layer with the sugar.
- NOTE: If I want this to be rather sweet, I sprinkle sugar on top of each cream layer, if I want less, I only use it on the very top.
- It's up to you.
- I have tossed the figs in the sugar before with decent results.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours to allow the sugar to melt into the cream.
