Sounds like a strange mix but well worth trying!

Ingredients

• 8 washed Fresh Figs
• Blue Cheese
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Method

1. Heat oven to 200 degrees C, gas mark 6.
2. Take 8 ripe figs, Cut a cross in the top of each one and squeeze open.
3. Put a cube of blue cheese inside each fig and place figs on a baking tray and bake for 5-10 minutes till the figs are hot and the cheese is melting.
4. While the figs are cooking make a dressing from equal parts of honey and balsamic vinegar.
5. Remove figs from oven and pour over dressing. Serve with crusty bread to mop up the juices.
