Bland

Step 1

Try powdered cinnamon, or you can stir 1/4 teaspoon powdered cardamom into 1/2 cup honey and spoon it over the figs. Also try adding 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary to 1/4 cup boiling water. Remove it from the heat and let steep until the water is cool. Strain out the rosemary and pour the water over the figs.
