Can you fig it?

Although we’ve tried, it seems that woman cannot live on cocktails alone. So we are going to start sharing our favorite recipes we use for entertaining and/or soaking up the booze. First up…figs.

Roasted Stuffed Fig with Chèvre in a Balsamic Reduction

12-24 figs, rinsed and sliced in half

Chèvre (goat cheese)

Balsamic vinegar

Brown sugar

Preheat your oven to 425°

1. Using a small spoon, create a divot in the center of each fig half. Scoop out just a small amount of the seeds.
2. Fill the divot with a small amount of the cheese.
3. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar
4. Place the figs on a baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes
5. While your figs are cooking, place equal parts balsamic and brown sugar (ex: 4 tablespoons & 4 tablespoons) in a pan and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Cook on low heat for another minute or two.
6. Remove figs from the oven and drizzle liberally with the reduction.
7. Serve warm.

Goes great with wine or fruit based cocktails like a classic Cape Cod or a Lemondrop.
