We used to have a huge fig tree which grew against the walls of our stone barn in South Wales. The fruit was plentiful and delicious. Yesterday we had to make do with supermarket figs which I baked with butter, Demerara sugar and a very generous slug of vintage port (my excuse was that the bottle had been open too long. Absolutely delicious. I am forgoing treats like rice pudding until I am at my goal weight although I could be very tempted by your recipe. I remember it being my favourite pudding baked by my Nana in the 1950s. I always got the burnished gold skin. Yum!
Must try this, although here by the seaside in the NW we don’t seem to have fig trees about? The fig compote with rice pudding sounds fabulous. Thank you.
