How to Make Saffron Scented Fresh Figs With Cinnamon And Honey

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 300ml cold water, 100g granulated sugar, a pinch of saffron threads (about 1/4 teaspoon), 1 cinnamon stick (about 4 inches), and 50g honey. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Gently bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly and reduced in volume.
  3. Add 500g fresh figs (halved or quartered if large) to the simmering syrup. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the figs are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully remove the cinnamon stick. Discard.
  5. Serve the figs warm, drizzled generously with the saffron syrup. A dollop of plain yogurt (optional, about 2 tablespoons per serving) complements the sweetness beautifully.
