Steps:
- Recommends using a heavy-bottomed 9-inch saute pan, 3 inches deep.
- Spread the sugar in the bottom of the pan, and pour in ½ cup water and the lemon juice.
- Set the figs in the pan, stem up, in one layer; nestle the strips of lemon zest and bay leaves in between the figs.
- Set the pan over low heat; cook slowly until the sugar melts and the figs release their juices.
- As the juices rise in the pan, gradually increase the heat to keep them bubbling.
- When the figs are soft and the liquid levels come halfway up their sides, about 30 minutes or more, turn off the heat, and let the figs rest in the pan for 1 hour or so, to reabsorb some of the juices.
- Slowly heat the figs and juices until they are 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 top with vanilla ice cream.

FRESH FIGS BAKED
Easy fresh fig recipe. Can be used as appetizer, side dish, or dessert... or all three! I could eat figs three times a day, I only wish the season were longer. I changed the amount of Gorgonzola for the figs, as I believe the review I recently got was right... too strong for the fig. It read 6 tablespoons before I changed it. I believe 1/2 teaspoon per fig would be better. As would less port be better.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF FIGS | BBC GOOD FOOD
From bbcgoodfood.com
Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Promotes digestive health. Figs are often recommended to nourish and tone the intestines, they act as a natural laxative because of their high fibre content.
- Rich in antioxidants. Figs, especially ripe ones, are rich in protective plant compounds called polyphenols. These compounds have protective antioxidant properties, this means they help prevent oxygen from reacting with other chemicals and causing damage to cells and tissues, by so doing they are key to managing oxidation.
- May support healthy blood pressure. Many of us consume too much sodium (salt), which is found in processed foods. High intakes of sodium can lead to deficiencies of potassium and this imbalance may lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
- May support bone health. Figs are a good source of bone-friendly minerals including calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Figs are especially rich in calcium with some studies suggesting they contain 3.2 times more than other fruits.
- May improve diet quality and aid weight management. Naturally high in dietary fibre and packed with vitamins and minerals, figs may be a useful dietary inclusion to improve the nutritional density of your diet and in turn help with weight management.

TOP 12 WAYS TO SERVE FIGS | BBC GOOD FOOD
From bbcgoodfood.com
Author Sarah LienardPublished 2021-08-27Estimated Reading Time 5 mins
- Jams and chutneys. Ripe and juicy figs are ideal for turning into homemade jams and tangy chutneys. Our sweet fig jam is delicious spread on toast or swirled into yogurt, and also makes a great gift.
- Pies and tarts. Figs + pastry = endless possibilities. Choose from sweet or savoury flavours, a pastry lid or crisp base, or fully enclose your fillings in buttery, flaky goodness.
- Salads. Incorporate figs into a symphony of tastes and textures with sticky honey-glazed halloumi, peppery rocket, salty prosciutto and toasted almonds.
- Cakes. Is there anything more enticing than a fruit-filled bake? Pack in natural sweetness and give comforting classics like crumble, the humble Swiss roll and classic coffee cake a figgy twist.
- Served with meat. Naturally sweet figs add a new dimension to gamey meats like quail, dark meat such as duck and salty, cured meats such as prosciutto and rich lamb cutlets.
- Puddings. Fresh figs feel right at home nestled into a sponge pudding or topped with sweet, crunchy crumble. Their rich fruity flavour and jammy texture adds an extra layer of comfort to wintry desserts, which is only enhanced with a giant dollop of ice cream.
- Served with cheese. We can’t get enough of that salty-sweet combination. Plump, fresh figs pair well with a wide variety of cheeses, from crumbly, sharp stilton to creamy brie.
- Pizzas and breads. Take the cheese and meat pairing up a notch and pop them all on a pizza. A bready base offers the perfect vehicle to get all that goodness from plate-to-mouth, with an added hit of carby pleasure.
- Stuffings. Step away from tired old sage and onion stuffing – these fruity flavours will give the classic Sunday roast side a much-needed lift. Fig and apples make a delicious autumnal combination in our pork loin roast, whilst pancetta provides a salty contrast to this sweet fruit in Emma Freud's American-style stuffing.
- Sweet and savoury snacks. Figs provide a fruity flavour hit in sweet and savoury snacks. Throw a handful of chewy toffees into the filling to make fig rolls with truly sticky, sweet centers that are so much better than anything you’ll find in a packet.
