Roasted Fig and Whiskey Puree'
Author: Biz Harris
Serves: 4-6
- 20 to 25 Fresh figs, washed & cut in half
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 Tablespoons Honey (local is always better!)
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1.5 tablespoons whiskey (I used bourbon)
- Preheat your oven to 375.
- Slice your figs in half and place them in a roasting pan or glass baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter.
- Add in the Honey and cook until they've combined.
- Add the whisky into the hot honey/butter mixture.
- Pour it all over your figs and lightly roll them in the mixture so all the sides are covered.
- Roast the figs for about 15 minutes or until they are bubbly and very soft.
- Let cool for a few minutes and then puree' with an emulsion blender or regular blender.
- Serve on top of pancakes for a very grownup breakfast, over ice cream, mixed into yogurt with granola, or just eat it by the spoonful.
- Store in a small tupperware container or in a jar in the refridgerator for just under a week.
