I’m not sure if figs are “in season” right now but I just picked up a pack of really fresh, great figs.  I was going to make a clafouti out of them where the first step is to soak the figs in some Marsala, honey, and some lemon zest.  I completed this first step when my husband intervened and convinced me to stop right there.  He’s been having them every night either on ice cream or with whipped cream on top of them.  I like them just as they are.

Figs in Marsala Sauce

10 figs, quartered
2/3 cups Marsala
2 Tbls. honey
The zest of one lemon

Place all of the ingredients in a sauce pan.  Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens a bit and the figs have softened.
