ingredients

12 fresh black mission figs

0.5 cup honey

4 cardamom pods cracked open

0.5 cup water

0.5 peel of 1 lemon

directions

Prepare the figs by cutting an ""X"" on the bottoms. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a saut pan and bring to a boil. Once the syrup has come to a boil, lower the heat slightly and add the figs. Baste the figs with the hot syrup until warmed through and the syrup has reduced to a light amber color. Place the figs on a plate and discard the lemon peels and the cardamom. Pour some of the syrup over the figs and serve with vanilla ice cream of lashings of whipped cream.
