Simple recipes

Have you hosted events and dinner parties? If you have, you know they can be very stressful. If you plan an overambitious menu, you may spend more time than you like in the kitchen.

For dessert, it's best to make something ahead of time. If you simply don't have time or you didn't plan ahead, this dessert is a great last-minute option. It only takes a few minutes to prepare, it's full of flavor, and everyone likes ice cream! The rosemary-infused honey is delightful and fragrant. I'm sure it would go well with a number of dishes if you have extra.

Ice cream with figs and rosemary-infused honey

Ingredients:

• vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup of honey
• 2-3 sprigs of rosemary, plus more for garnishing
• figs

Directions:

In a small saucepan, heat the honey and rosemary on low. Stir over the heat occasionally for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for an additional 10 minutes. When it is cool, drizzle over ice cream and halved figs. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary if desired.
