Instructions:
Instructions: Aga equipment:
wire shell on fourth set of runners in roasting ovenwith cold shelf on second set of runners OR wire shelf on third set of runners in four ovenaga baking oven

Place the figs and almonds in a small ovenproof dish then add the orange zest and juice.

Cover the dish use foil if it does not have a suitable lid and cook in the roasting ovenfor 20 minutes or for 30 minutes in the four ovenaga baking oven.

Beat the mascarpone with a little milk if it is very thick then add honey to taste. I sometimes use a set clover or orange blossom honey or a runny acacia honey.

If your honey is very hard warm it on the back of the aga until soft or place the jar in a pan of hot water.

Serve the figs warm with a huge dollop of the mascarpone cream as an accompaniment.

I fantasise about using fresh figs straight from the garden but common sense tells me 1 would just eat such treasures fresh from the tree. So ready to eat dried figs are gently baked and then topped with the easiest of luxury toppings.
