Directions
Saffron Scented Fresh Figs With Cinnamon and Honey, A delectable dessert that makes full use of fresh, luscious, ripe figs with a sophisticated saffron and honey syrup This is often on my dessert menu when my figs are in season, and is an easy and yet impressive end to any special meal Although I have suggested that you serve this warm, it is also lovely when served at room temperature or just slightly chilled Food of the Gods and Goddesses!, Another winner! DH brought me some fresh figs, and this seemed like the perfect way to use them The syrup has a beautiful golden color, and smells just heavenly! A worthy use for that oh so expensive pinch of saffron I also used a local honey, and the combination of flavors was just wonderful A little sweet from the syrup, a little tart from the yogurt- just the perfect light dessert to finish an al fresco meal Thanks so much for posting, Karen, I’ll definitely make this again when the figs on my tree are ripe!
