I had purchased a pint of figs at the farmers market not too
long ago and was thinking of what to do with them. My thoughts went to
dessert and I ended up with these easy caramelized figs. All you need is
butter and brown sugar; it can't get any easier. I spooned the warm
caramelized figs over some frozen vanilla greek yogurt (from Trader Joe's) and
it was amazingly delicious!
Easy Caramelized Figs
Ingredients
7 figs
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
Slice figs in half lengthwise with stems removed.
In a small pan, over medium heat, melt butter and brown
sugar.
Add figs, cut side down, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until caramelized. Spoon sauce over figs.
Turn figs over and cook on other side. The butter-sugar sauce will thicken as it cooks.
You may serve the caramelized figs warm or at room
temperature.
Serve over ice cream, yogurt, or cake.
