  • pinch ground cinnamon 
  • tablespoons lavender honey such as lavender honey
  • pinch salt

  2. Melt the butter in a small skillet with the salt, honey, and cinnamon, then spoon it over the figs.
  3. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the fruit is heated through, about 15 minutes.
  4. Serve warm.
