Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
In ancient Greece, figs were eaten during frenzied sexual rituals. That fact alone should be enough to get some figs on the Valentine's Day menu!
However, the reason figs are associated with aphrodisiacs is that a fresh fig, when cut open, looks like (not too sound too clinical or anything) a certain part of the female reproductive system. Who wouldn't think of fertility when seeing all those tiny little seeds?!?!
Fresh figs are seasonal, and more than likely, not available during Valentine's day, but dried figs are available year round.

Make a syrup (not too thick, still watery) with sugar, water, honey, chilli, cinnamon, and nutmeg.. (strain)
Fill a jar about 1/3 with dried figs and then throw in a whole chilli and fill the jar up with the still warm syrup and let cool, then refrigerate.
Make it a couple of days ahead so the figs have time to rehydrate.
Serve the figs split and a generous spoon of ricotta and a drizzle of honey..
Great brunch or desert...
