- 12 to 16 plump figs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Tiny pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons honey, such as lavender honey
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rinse the figs and pat them dry, then cut off the stems and, without cutting through the base, halve them from top to bottom. Set the figs upright in a dish just big enough to hold them snugly.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet with the salt, honey, and cinnamon, then spoon it over the figs.
- Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the fruit is heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
