In July, I stayed withy mother while she recuperated from cataract surgery. When my brother Dean dropped off these fresh figs from his farm, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.
Carmelized Figs
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, chopped
1 pound ripe fresh figs, halved
Heat honey and fennel seeds in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring to combine.
Add figs, cut-side down; Cook figs until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Serve warm, over vanilla ice cream.
