Below are the dishes we tried with great success. If you know of anything else I could try, please leave me a comment.
Baked Figs
Arrange 6 whole figs in an oven proof dish. Pour in 1/4 cup water and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar. Bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of ice-cream.
Prosciutto and Figs
Halve figs and arrange paper thin slices of prosciutto around them. The combination of salty and sweet is a delicious.

I absolutely LOVE figs. Unfortunately here in WI we do not get them. So enjoy a few for me.
Oh how lovely. It's so hard to get hold of fresh figs here. I once saw a dessert substitute idea in a cookery book that I've always wanted to try at a dinner party, but have never had the figs. It was a bit like your figs and proscuttio except it was fresh figs, whole almonds and goats cheese - yum! You could always try fig jam if you really run out of ideas or dry them.
I'm afraid the only thing I've ever done with figs is made fig jam!
I love figs, there are so many things you can do with them!
I love what you have done with yours! Baked, sweet, and served with a dollop of ice-cream...YUM!
I have an award for you here!
