I saw these in Southern Living magazine and they looked so cute, not to mention tasty! Figs are popular in Africa, Australia, the Middle East and California! Ingredients:
12 large fresh figs, stemmed |
1/4 cup orange juice (original recipe called for orange liqueur) or 1/4 cup orange marmalade |
1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons whipping cream |
2 tablespoons sour cream |
orange zest, to garnish |
Directions:
1. Stand figs upright; slice from stem end into 5 or 6 wedges, cutting to, but not through, bottom.
2. Gently separate wedges to resemble a flower.
3. Place figs on a serving plate.
4. Place orange juice in a small saucepan and simmer until reduced to syrup, about 5-10 minutes. If using orange marmalade, skip this step.
5. Drizzle with orange juice reduction(or liqueur), or marmalade.
6. Beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until fluffy.
7. Add honey, whipping cream, and sour cream; beat 1 minute.
8. Dollop(or pipe) mixture onto center of each fig.
9. Garnish, if desired, with orange zest.
10. Enjoy!
