Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 fresh figs
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
1 cup chilled heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Prick bottom of each fig several times and stand figs in a buttered 9- to 10-inch flameproof gratin dish or ovenproof skillet. Sprinkle figs with 1/3 cup sugar, then add water to dish.
  • Bake figs in middle of oven, basting twice with pan juices, until tender, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to stovetop, then add 1/4 cup Grand Marnier and bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Remove from heat and carefully ignite pan juices. After flames subside, juices should be syrupy. If pan juices are too thin, transfer figs to a shallow serving bowl, then boil juices until syrupy and slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes, and pour over figs.
  • Beat cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and tablespoon liqueur using an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks.
  • Serve figs, warm or at room temperature, with syrup and cream.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The whipped cream was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter whipped cream or even just plain yogurt.

The Grand Marnier sauce was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

The figs were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter variety of fig.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There are a lot of steps involved and it took me longer than I expected to make. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth the effort.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The figs were not as tender as I expected and the Grand Marnier sauce was too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a keeper! The figs were perfectly roasted and the Grand Marnier sauce was divine. I served it with vanilla ice cream and it was a real crowd-pleaser.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The figs were caramelized and gooey, and the Grand Marnier added a nice touch of sweetness. The whipped cream was the perfect finishing touch.
