Preheat oil to 450 degrees. Place figs, sugar, orange juice, white
wine and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and
simmer 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool and drain, reserving
cooking liquid. Remove stem from each fig and make an X shaped
incision into each fig. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chocolate into each fig,
add 1 teaspoon cream and 1 tablespoon sliced almonds and place each on
a buttered cookie sheet. Place in oven for 5 minutes. Place remaining
cream and chocolate in a small saucepan with 3 tablespoons fig cooking
liquid and gently heat to form a sauce. Remove figs from oven. Place
on 4 plates, spoon sauce over each fig, garnish with remaining almonds
and serve warm. This recipe yields 4 servings. Recipe Source:
