FRESH FIGS WITH ORANGE JUICE
Allow two firm, very slightly
under-ripe purple or green figs per
person. Cut the stalks from the figs
but do not peel them. Quarter
them, put them in a bowl, and over
them pour the juice, freshly
squeezed, of one large orange for
eight figs. No sugar is necessary,
but the fruit should be prepared an
hour or so before it is to be eaten.
