This recipe was delish and the presentation was just beautiful. The figs became even sweeter and had a creamy texture after they were grilled. I paired it with a grilled peach with cinnamon and put a dollop of marscopone over the individual desert dish, drizzled the orange-honey mix over the cheese with pistachios. Highly recommended!

My neighbor gave me a basket full of fresh figs the other day and I decided to make this recipe because I was already grilling some other stuff. My family had never even had a fresh fig before and they were totally wowed by this.
The orange-honey glaze really brings out the sweetness of the figs. They kind of melt in your mouth when you take a bite.

Bought 8 oz. of Mascarpone yesterday for 99 cents, $5 off, found figs today at a Chinese market, 99 cents for 8 oz, 12 good sized figs, usually 50 cents each. Don't know if it is salad or desert but this recipe is perfect for my find.
