Sauteed Fresh Fig and Almond Dessert

Total Time: 9 mins Preparation Time: 2 mins Cook Time: 7 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 12 ripe fresh figs, halved lengthwise
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (you might want to add more...I did!)
• 1 cup blanched slivered almond, toasted
• heavy cream (to garnish, optional, but the best part)

Recipe

• 1 Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat.
• 2 Add the fig halves and sprinkle liberally with brown sugar.
• 3 Saute, turning the figs gently, until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Be careful not to let the butter/brown sugar burn, just caramelize.
• 4 Sprinkle with toasted almonds and garnish with heavy cream.
