Ingredients
 

  • 4 ripe figs
  • 50 millilitres orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon preserved ginger in syrup chopped
  • 3 tablespoon preserved ginger in syrup chopped
  • 500 grams Greek Yogurt

Instructions
 

  • 4 ripe figs
    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.
  • 1 tablespoon preserved ginger in syrup
    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 chopped preserved ginger and a teaspoon of the syrup.
  • 50 millilitres orange juice
    Pour the orange juice around the figs and cover with the lid.
  • Bake in the slow cooker 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.
  • 500 grams Greek Yogurt, 3 tablespoon preserved ginger in syrup
    Serve with Greek yogurt, drizzling the syrup and remaining chopped preserved ginger over the figs and yogurt.

Notes

You can also serve the figs warm with vanilla custard or rice pudding.
