This was superb! I bought fresh figs just so I could try this recipe, and I'm so glad I did! It makes a very pretty pinkish sauce that goes perfectly with the yogurt. Greek yogurt is a MUST... I don't think anything else would taste as good. This is a wonderfully cool and light dessert that's perfect on a hot summer night!
