Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup good-quality honey
4 strips orange peel (each 3 inches long), plus 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
24 dried Black Mission figs (about 6 ounces)
1 cup, fresh ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The figs were a bit too tart for my liking, and the ricotta cheese was a bit too bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The figs were mushy and the ricotta cheese was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't work out. Very disappointed.

The poached figs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ricotta cheese helped to balance it out. Overall, it was a nice dessert, but I wouldn't make it again.

I'm not usually a fan of figs, but these poached figs were surprisingly delicious. The poaching process tenderized the figs and brought out their natural sweetness. The ricotta cheese added a nice tangy contrast to the sweetness of the figs. I'd defi
