HONEY POACHED FIGS
This quick, no-bake, gluten-free dessert is refreshing after a heavy meal or as a summer treat. Serve it with anything from whipped cream or mascarpone to cheesecakes, crepes, and pavlovas.

Steps:
- In a small or medium saucepan that's large enough to hold the figs, heat water, honey, and sugar (and vanilla and cinnamon, if using) on medium-high. Cook until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and add figs. Let simmer until tender but not mushy, 5-10 minutes, turning them occasionally so that each side is poached evenly. Using a slotted spoon, transfer figs to a bowl. Let the water-honey liquid continue simmering on medium-low heat until liquid reduces and thickens to a syrup consistency, about 15 more minutes. Let cool.
- Once the figs have cooled slightly, remove stems and cut in half.
- Keep sauce and figs in the refrigerator until ready to use. Serve at room temperature.
- Arrange figs and serve as desired. Figs can be served either a dollop of whipped cream, mascarpone, crème fraiche, or yogurt, or alongside desserts such as cake, cheesecake, or crepes. Drizzle with syrup.
POACHED FRESH FIGS
Steps:
- Spread the sugar in the bottom of the pan, and pour in 1/2 cup water and the lemon juice. Set the figs in the pan, stem up, in one layer. Nestle the strips of lemon zest and the bay leaves in between the figs.
- Set the pan over low heat, and cook slowly until the sugar melts and the figs release their juices. As the juices rise in the pan, gradually raise the heat to keep them bubbling (and "galloping"). When the figs are soft and the liquid level comes halfway up their sides, in 30 minutes or more, turn off the heat, and let the figs rest in the pan for an hour or longer, to reabsorb some of the juices.
- Slowly heat the figs and juices until they're bubbling again, and cook for 30 minutes or so, until the figs are very soft (but still intact) and the juices have become thick and syrupy.
- Let the figs cool before serving. Arrange them in a serving dish if you like, with the syrup all around. Enjoy the fruit and syrup on their own, or atop vanilla ice cream, or with a soft, creamy cheese such as Taleggio or Robiola.
POACHED FIGS IN SPICED HONEY SYRUP

- Bring cooking liquid to boil. Boil until reduced to syrup consistency, about 5 minutes. Strain. Cool.
- Arrange figs in dessert goblets. Drizzle syrup over. Garnish with mint and serve.

SUMMER POACHED FIGS WITH GINGER
The figs are coming in & wanted a recipe to preserve their summery goodness. I keep these in the fridge for now but will try to can at some point. I use these for Fig Upside Down Cake, alongside vanilla ice cream, mixed into homemade vanilla & lemon gelato, on greek yogurt for breakfast & right out of the jar just because they are so good!
