Poach fresh figs with honey and spices for an incredible dessert. The sauce is very sweet, add a touch of balsamic vinegar if you prefer something less sweet. Cut a hole in the top of the fig so that the sauce can get inside, and the insides of the fig can combine with the sauce. Note this recipe only works with fresh figs, it will not reconstitute dried figs.
