Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
For creamy figs with cinnamon honey,
place 8 ripe fresh figs on a plate and, using a small, sharp knife, cut a deep cross into the top of each one, keeping the base intact. Put a spoonful of clotted cream or strained yogurt into the hollow and drizzle each one with 1 tablespoon runny honey. Dust with ground cinnamon and serve.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
