Fig Cla-blah-tis


In theory, it should have been good. Roasted Fig Clafoutis - Cointreau-soaked figs, drizzled with honey then roasted and finally baked in a custardy-style clafoutis. Unfortunately, the custardy-style part was more like stodge, masking the figs and making for a very heavy dessert. The really bad thing when you make a dessert like this that you don't particularly like is persevering with it for the next night . . . and the next night. I would probably try the figs again, but look for a much lighter style of batter.


It did, however, give me an excuse to crack open the Wadi Dana (!) Wild Plum Jam (in place of apricot), that we got from the Made in Jordan store in Petra. The jam, at least, is good!
