Ingredients
1 cup Marsala
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
12 dried Calimyrna figs, look for soft ones in the bulk section of your supermarket
3 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
Honey Tips
Honey Bees Need Water
To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.
Directions
In a medium saucepan combine Marsala, orange juice, honey and figs. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand 15 minutes.
In a small bowl combine cream cheese, Parmesan and 1 tablespoon chopped pine nuts. Set aside.
Remove figs from pan with a slotted spoon. Bring sauce back to a boil and cook about 10 minutes until reduced to about 1/4 cup.
Meanwhile, slice figs through stem end about 3/4 of the way down, leaving the bottom in tact. Stuff a spoon of cheese mixture into the middle of each fig. Place 3 on each plate and drizzle with spoonful of Marsala sauce. Sprinkle with remaining whole pine nuts.
