ROASTED FIGS WITH CARDAMON AND ORANGE BUTTER SAUCE
I bought this recipe book "100 Great Desserts" by Mandy Wagstaff for this recipe. When figs do come into season, we can buy them by the crate, then it's just a case of how many ways can we enjoy them. Thought this recipe sounded good.

Ingredients
- 16 black figs
- 2-3 fig leaves if available
- 100g (4 oz) butter
- 100g (4 oz) caster sugar
- zest and juice of 1 orange
- 6 cardamom pods, split
- Large tub of crème fraîche
Method
Serves: 8
- Preheat the oven to 180 C (350F, Gas 4).
- Stand the figs upright on their ends. Cut carefully down through the skin and flesh into quarters, only cutting halfway through to the base so that they remain intact.
- Select an ovenproof dish which can double as a serving dish and is just large enough to take the fruit in a single layer. Lay the fig leaves on the bottom, allowing them to come up the sides if desired. Arrange the figs on top.
- Melt the butter in a small l pan Add the sugar, orange zest and juice and the split cardamom pods; spoon over the figs.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, basting frequently until soft and beginning to caramelise.
- Cool slightly before serving straight from the dish with lashings of crème fraîche.
