Ingredients
- 12 fresh Black Mission figs, trimmed
- 1/4 cup soft goat cheese
- 12 toasted blanched whole almonds
- 24 toasted pine nuts
- 1/2 cup Willow Pond Farm Cranberry-Sage Jelly, or other herb jelly
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Cut a 1 1/2-inch-deep X in the top of each fig, and squeeze the sides gently to open up the top.
Arrange the figs on a baking sheet, standing with cut ends up.
Spoon 1 teaspoon goat cheese into each fig, mounding the cheese slightly. Press an almond and 2 pine nuts onto the cheese.
Warm the jelly in a saucepan until it becomes liquid, and drizzle it over the figs.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until warm throughout. Transfer to a platter, and serve.
