We got some figs a couple of days ago and I found this recipe online at http://www. recipies4us.co.uk last night, it was too interesting sounding not to try. Vary the amount of sauce to taste, I made just enough to cover the bottom of the dish, but you may like more or less. Save electricity and do this one in the toaster oven. The sauce is pretty sweet so i'm sure you can cut down on the amount of honey if you like, i was surprised how the whiskey mellowed out and wasn't overpowering.
1. Preheat your oven to 425F, and grease a dish lightly with butter.
2. Place equal parts whiskey and honey in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, stirring constantly and then remove from heat. I used 2 oz.'s whiskey and 2 oz.'s honey.
3. Wash and cut your figs in half and place cut side up in the dish. Drizzle your honey/whiskey mixture over the figs, and sprinkle a couple of table spoon of crushed roasted nuts over the top. I used a mixture of almonds, cashews, and walnuts roasted in a pan on medium heat for a couple of minutes, and then crushed with a mortar and pestle. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until just tender.
