Honey Tips
Honey Flavors and Colors
Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
Directions
In a small saucepan combine figs, honey and wine. Bring to a boil and simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes. Remove figs with a slotted spoon. Let cool. Discard wine. Cut figs in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl mix together mascarpone and Gorgonzola cheeses. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture onto the cut edge of each fig half. Sprinkle with a few walnuts.
Place on a serving plate and drizzle figs lightly with remaining tablespoon of honey.
Yields: 16 fig halves
