Baby figs with quark

I was looking for mulberry jam in the supermarket, which I could not find, but instead came across a jar of baby figs in syrup, so bought this instead and made the following recipe mid way through the afternoon on Saturday, which is one of the pleasures of a weekend.

Baby figs and quark

Quark is a German fat-free soft cheese, which is good in both sweet and savoury dishes and very cheap. This serves one person. 

1/2 tub quark
3 or 4 baby figs
2 tablespoons of syrup from the jar
a little orange blossom honey to taste (optional)
a sprinkling (a teaspoon) of roasted almond slices (optional)

Spoon out half a tub of quark onto a dish.  Place the figs on the top and pour over the syrup and honey, the sprinkle with the almonds.

For a slightly richer version of the same, use mascarpone cheese mixed with a little vanilla and icing sugar (a very good and lazy pudding to serve with coffee at the end of a meal).
