Sounds great. What temperature oven?
I followed the recipe and the figs came out quite dry. Oven temp: 350. The pears were fine. I wonder about placing the figs underneath the pears so juice could moisten the figs or doing something to the figs first to moisten them, or, or, or....! Any ideas from someone? Thanks.
Again, what temperature should the oven be at?
