Ingredients

40g pine nuts
20g salted butter, diced
12 figs, halved
100ml Marsala
1 lemon, zested
50g light brown soft sugar
200g mascarpone

Method

Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Put the pine nuts on a baking tray and toast in the oven for 5-6 minutes, until golden. Remove and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, dot the butter across the base of a medium-sized baking tray or casserole dish. Put the figs in the dish, cut-side up, drizzle over the marsala, then scatter over the lemon zest and sugar. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until soft and sticky. Remove and leave to cool a little. Serve the figs and marsala sauce with generous dollops of mascarpone and the pine nuts scattered over.
