Fig Toast

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound of pulled figs
• sugar
• grated rind and juice of half a lemon
• bread
• 2 tablespoonfuls of hot butter
• 2/3 cup of thick cream

Instructions

Wash carefully and cook in boiling water the pulled figs until tender; add one fourth a cup of sugar and the grated rind and juice of half a lemon. Cook until the syrup is well reduced. Cut the crust from a thick slice of bread and sauté to a golden brown, first on one side, then on the other, in hot butter. Drain the bread on soft paper; then heap the figs upon it, cover with thick cream and a scant fourth of a cup of sugar, beaten until stiff. Serve at once. Prunes, apricots, peaches, pears, or strawberry preserves, may be prepared in the same manner. If preserves be used, omit the sugar from the cream. Sponge cake may be used in the place of bread.
