My grandparents had a fig tree and I grew up eating mashed figs with REAL whipped butter on buttermilk biscuits. YUM … not healthy!
This recipe is simple, healthy and delicious. Braised figs make a stunning display, and their delicate warm taste will not disappoint. Add them to your oatmeal, on cottage cheese or even throw a few onto a salad. Not only are they high in fiber, they are also loaded with potassium—a mineral important in controlling blood pressure.
Servings: 6

Here’s what you need…

• Non-stick cooking spray
• 1 Tablespoon raw honey
• 12 figs, sliced in half

Directions:

1. Heat a large non-stick sauté pan and spray with cooking spray. Add the raw honey.
2. Place the figs, sliced side down in the pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes over medium heat. They will become slightly sticky and golden around the edges.
3. Remove from pan and place sliced side up on a plate. Drizzle with remaining juice from the pan.
