Honey baked figs

Method
- 1
Make a cross cut in the top of each fig then put into a snug fitting shallow ovenproof dish. Drizzle the honey and olive oil into the top cuts then bake in a preheated oven, 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4 for 5-10 minutes, check after five minutes. If the fruit are very ripe they will be warm and ready, if a little under-ripe they will take three-five minutes more.

Spoon the honey juices from the base of the dish over the figs then sprinkle with torn mint leaves and serve hot or cold.
