Sauteed Fresh Fig And Almond Dessert - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
12 ripe fresh figs, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup brown sugar (you might want to add more...I did!)
1 cup blanched slivered almond, toasted
heavy cream (to garnish, optional, but the best part)

Preparation

Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat.
Add the fig halves and sprinkle liberally with brown sugar.
Saute, turning the figs gently, until warmed through, about 4 minutes. Be careful not to let the butter/brown sugar burn, just caramelize.
Sprinkle with toasted almonds and garnish with heavy cream.
