ELEGANT FIG APPETIZERS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND ALMONDS
This is a combination of several fresh fig appetizer recipes. The flavors of fresh figs, tangy goat cheese, salty almonds, sweet honey, and balsamic vinegar contrast to make these a delicious and very pretty appetizer. Arrange figs in a circle, tops facing in, for a flower effect and this will be a lovely addition to a bridal shower menu! If you can find Marcona almonds, use them! They are a Spanish almond that tastes like a cross between an almond and a cashew.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven broiler for high heat.
- Place the fig halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Top each half with about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese. Place one almond on each, press to push the cheese slightly into each fig.
- Broil the figs in the preheated oven until the cheese is soft and the almonds are turning a rich shade of brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the broiler and let cool for 5 minutes. Arrange the figs on a serving platter and drizzle with honey and balsamic vinegar. Serve warm.

Alas, I don't think it will stay warm enough for my figs to ripen this year, but someday I hope to make this cake, courtesy of the New York Times, by David Tanis.

SAUTEED FIGS WITH CASHEW CREME
This is one of my favorite vegan desserts. The cashew cream tastes great on its own as well, but throw in some fresh figs and it's to die for.

FRESH FIG AND PORT SORBET
The ingredients are clearly classic Portuguese (figs, port) and sorbet was almost part of the Moorish repertoire (ice was brought from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the Alhambra to provide coolness for sliced fruit), but in all other respects, this is about as non-traditional a recipe as you can find for the Zaar World Tour 5 (2009)! This recipe uses no milk or cream; the flavor of the figs and port is there, but understated and it is absolutely wonderful. You can stay within the traditional Iberian palate and use vanilla sugar instead of plain sugar (don't use vanilla extract, unless you cook off the alcohol), but that's just gilding the lilly. Full credit goes to Eating Out Loud (http://www.eatingoutloud.com/2008/08/fresh-fig-port-sorbet.html), who in turn credits Ms. Adventures in Italy for the idea of a Fig Sorbet (http://www.msadventuresinitaly.com/blog/2007/07/03/fresh-fig-sorbet/)

Steps:
- Trim the hard parts and stems of the figs and quarter the remainder.
- Add the figs and water to a saucepan, cover and bring to a simmer.
- As the mixture heats up, add the lemon zest.
- Stir 2-3 times over the first 10 minutes.
- After about 10 minutes, the figs will soften and begin to break up.
- When the figs are soft, add the sugar and cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes more until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy.
- Remove from the heat.
- Using either a stick blender in the pot or transferring the mixture to a regular blender, VERY CAREFULLY (Remember, this mixture is hot), puree the mixture.
- Now add the port, 1 1/2 cups of water and the lemon zest to the mixture.
- Taste and if it's too tangy (i.e., you didn't have Meyer lemons and substituted regular lemons), you may need to adjust with a tiny amount of sugar.
- Once the mix is cool, pour into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's directions to get a semi-firm consistency.
- Remove the ice cream and place in a container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Remove, scoop, and enjoy!
