Pistachio-Stuffed Figs (And or Apricots)
"Gorgeous, vibrant figs stuffed with buttery rich pistachios. *EDIT: After reading Cookgirl's review I have removed the stated broiling time as all stoves do run at somewhat different temps so just keep your eyes on them for a few mins."

The first batch I burnt beyond recognition. Eight minutes was much too long. This is my fault primarily because we have a new stove and this was only my second time using the broiler. The next batch I broiled the dates and apricots probably no more than 2 minutes and they were perfect. These are really delicious and I love the combination of flavors. Served with #173172. Made for NA*ME tag/June
