Ingredients
7 tablespoons fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 2-inch piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise
12 ripe figs, preferably black
Preparation
- Step 1
In a small bowl, stir together orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, pepper and vanilla bean.
- Step 2
Place an inverted 3-cup souffle dish in the center of a 10-inch pie plate to create a ring mold. Pour the liquid mixture into the dish.
- Step 3
Arrange the figs in a circle, leaning them against the souffle dish with the stems facing up. Invert a second 10-inch pie plate over the first to form a cover.
- Step 4
Cook at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 5 minutes.
- Step 5
Remove from oven and uncover. Let figs cool before serving warm, or let cool completely. Serve with vanilla ice cream or heavy cream.
