This is a sim of Rupert Grint. He is soooo hott! Hah. For those of you who don't know, he is the actor who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies. I made him wear the maroon thermal his mother always sends him every Christmas. Love love love Harry Potter! (: I again did not create any of the custom content, I just put it together. Enjoy!
A vanilla and coffee syrup brings out the wonderful flavor of figs - serve strained plain yogurt or vanilla with the poached fruit. A good selection of different honey is available - its aroma and flavor will be subtly scented by the plants surrounding the hives.
Fresh Fig CompoteChoose a skillet with a lid, large enough to hold the figs in a single layer. Pour in the coffee and add the honey. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the pan. Add the vanilla bean then bring to a rapid boil, and cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Wash the figs and pierce the skins several times with a sharp skewer. Cut in half and add to the syrup. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the figs from the syrup with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Strain the syrup over the figs. let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Etre robuste !
