Maple Glazed Figs with Roasted Pistachios

Figs are by far one of my favourite fruits, as well as one of my favourite things to cook. They are brilliant on their own and make a very tasty snack when fully ripe. However it is winter season now and they are hard to come by and impossible to get in a perfectly ripe state.

But don't worry about the ripeness of the fruits with this recipe as they will sweeten up during the baking process. It might look very complicated but this is a very stress free way of creating a delicious dessert with a huge wow factor. In fact it is my go to recipe when I am in a rush and want to dish up something spectacular.

Maple glazed figs with roasted pistachios might sound over the top and hard to make but it is as easy as can be. It is just about squeezing a few fruits, mixing a sweet marinade and letting the oven do the rest.
