Very nice little treat! This is a very easy recipe that despite the figs and honey is not overly sweet. Do not think I would use these figs for dessert although I guess you could, but so think they would be a nice appetizer for a BBQ. I made as written and thought the roasting of the almonds not only brought a lot of flavor but also helped to keep the honey in check. Thanks for the post. -
