FABULOUS! This is one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. I did not have any Grand Marnier..my favorite liqueur..and just put in a little juice from the orange. I can't wait until fig season next year to make these again!!

We eat most of our figs out of hand, but I'm so glad I was able to find some nice ones still on the tree to make this recipe. It is, quite simply, fabulous. Very easy to make, but with a very elegant presentation and flavour. If you have fresh figs, this is a must-try recipe.

These were good and pretty easy! I did sub an ice wine for the liquor, just to test and cause i soaked the figs in them a little bit. Yum! thanks Rita!
