Fresh Figs with Honey Sauce

Ingredients

1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pint fresh figs (about 8 to 12), stems trimmed, halved lengthways

Directions

In a small saucepan combine the honey and lemon juice and stir until blended.

Lightly brush the cut sides of the figs with some of the honey mixture. Leave the remaining honey mixture in the pan. Grill figs, cut-side-down, over Direct High heat until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Use a spatula to lift figs from the grate and transfer to a plate to cool slightly. If the figs are large, cut them into 1/2-inch wedges.

Add the figs to the remaining honey mixture in the saucepan. Heat gently over low heat. Serve over ice cream, yoghourt, or angel food cake.
