The message
from Sacha contains these words:

Ray has just brought in a 3l. plant pot half filled with ripe figs. The
other half has gone to one of the family!
We have friends coming to dinner tomorrow night and I'm going to make the
following recipe but wonder what others do to cook figs?

Lovely, have saved it.

Edward's favourite was to inject them with cointreau and serve with
thick cream! ))

WHAT a surprise!! That's a bit like what I call 'dirty bananas'. I bake
them in the oven (not in foil) until the skins go black then each person
slits their own banana with the tine of their fork, and pours in rum and
cream. The skin acts as the perfect dish, retaining all the lovely mingled
flavours and juices.
