Slow Cooker Gingered Figs: a delicious combinatin of figs and preserved ginger infused together in the slow cooker #figs #ginger #slowcooker #crockpot #recipe #dessert

‘Tis the ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness’ and Slow Cooker Gingered Figs are cooked slowly in your Slow Cooker are a delicious way to enjoy the fruits of the season.   Hopefully, we won’t have too many mists just yet, as summer seems to have returned for a few more days, however, I am looking for some fruitfulness as September’s Slow Cooker Challenge is cook with FRUIT in your slow cooker.

Gingered Figs cooked in the Crockpot, so sweet and delicious

 

Your dish can be sweet or savoury as long as it contains some fruit.  My recipe is a simple one,  I love baked figs and thought it would be easy to pop them in the slow cooker and it worked really well.

 

A simple Autumn dessert, this Gingered Fig recipe is simple and delicous

Ingredients
 

  • 4 ripe figs
  • 50 ml orange juice
  • 4 tbsp Spiced Ginger Preserve or chopped preserved ginger

Instructions
 

  • Cut the hard part of the stem from the top of the figs, then slice a cross into the top of each one, be careful not to cut all the way to the bottom or your figs will fall apart.
  • Place the figs in the basin of the slow cooker, open out the sections of the fig a little and fill the space with a dessert spoon of Ginger Preserve.
  • Pour the orange juice around the figs and cover with the lid.
  • Bake on low for 2-3 hours.
  • Remove the figs from the slow cooker to a serving dish, pour the juices into a pan and bring to a rapid boil, reducing the syrup by half, then pour this over the figs and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
  • Serve with Greek yogurt, drizzling the syrup over the figs and yogurt.

    These look lovely – I'm thinking they would be really good around Christmas time with the ginger. I've just invested in a slow cooker, so shall be entering the challenge this month!!

    Yes, to figs, yes to ginger and a big yes to this recipe. Sounds so good. Hoping we might get a few more figs off our tree this year, so you never know, I might just be able to make it!
