Method

In a mixing bowl stir together whipping cream, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon brandy and honey. Mix well to incorporate the honey.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

Melt butter and stir in remaining tablespoon brandy.

Slice figs in half lengthwise and thread side by side on skewers so cut sides are exposed. Brush both sides of figs with butter mixture and sprinkle tops with brown sugar.

When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack lightly with vegetable oil. Grill figs with cut side up.  Cook until sugared surface is bubbly and golden. Remove from grill and slide off the skewers.

Place 3 halves on each serving plate. Whip cream mixture until soft peaks form. Serve figs with a dollop of whipped cream on each plate.

Serves: 6
