Steps:

- 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!

Steps:
- Toast pine nuts in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing often, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Immediately transfer to a plate.
- Heat honey and rose water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until very runny, about 1 minute (do not let boil); let cool.
- Serve yogurt and figs drizzled with warm honey mixture and topped with pine nuts.
Tips:
- Choose the right yogurt. Greek yogurt or strained yogurt is the best choice for this recipe, as it is thick and creamy.
- Use fresh honey. Fresh honey has a more delicate flavor than processed honey.
- Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
- Add other toppings. You can also add other toppings to your yogurt, such as berries, granola, or chopped fruit.
- Serve immediately. Yogurt with honey and walnuts is best served immediately, so that the yogurt is still cold and the walnuts are still crunchy.
Conclusion:
Yogurt with honey and walnuts is a delicious and healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert. It is a good source of protein, calcium, and fiber. The honey adds a natural sweetness, while the walnuts add a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor. This recipe is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
