Okay these are the same variety of figs in my new yard! I WILL make this in about a week when I have a new batch of figs ripe.
 Summer's bounty - a few pounds of green figs! To eat them out of hand - or preserve them for colder days... |
 Since most folks don't grow figs - run out and buy about 2 lbs for this recipe. A navel orange, 2/3 cup of honey and a little ground cinnamon - a fabulous combo1! |
 Always pare the tough stem off your figs, dried or fresh -this a an extremely healthy fruit |
 Remove the zest from the orange. You'll need aTbs full. Then juice the orange. |
 Mince the orange zest... |
 ...and add the zest to the figs as they break down. Add the honey & the juice now. Cook long & low. |
