This dessert hits both sweet and savory notes. Aged balsamic vinegar has a syruplike consistency, so a little drizzle goes a long way. Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 15 min Ingredients:
12 firm-ripe fresh figs, trimmed and halved lengthwise |
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar such as sugar in the raw or packed light brown sugar, forced through a sieve |
1 pt super premium vanilla ice cream |
1 to 2 tablespoons aged (preferably 10 years or more) balsamic vinegar |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Arrange figs, cut sides up, in a large shallow baking pan. Sprinkle sugar evenly over fruit and broil 2 to 3 inches from heat until most of sugar is melted and deep golden in places, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Immediately serve figs over ice cream, drizzled with vinegar.
