How to Make Baked Figs With Honey And Whiskey Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toast 1/2 cup hazelnuts on a baking sheet for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
- Wrap warm hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove skins. Chop roughly and set aside.
- Increase oven temperature to 500°F (260°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup honey and 2 tablespoons Scotch whiskey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Wash and dry 1 pound of fresh figs. Cut off the stems and halve lengthwise.
- Lightly grease a small gratin dish or oven-safe baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.
- Arrange fig halves, cut-side up, in the prepared dish.
- Drizzle the honey-whiskey sauce evenly over the figs.
- Sprinkle generously with the chopped toasted hazelnuts.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until figs are softened but still hold their shape. Baking time will depend on the size of your figs.
- Let cool slightly until warm.
- Arrange 4-6 fig halves on each of 4 serving plates.
- Spoon the pan juices over the figs.
- Garnish with a fresh mint sprig, if desired.
