Beat for three to four minutes with an electric mixer set at medium speed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for two hours. FILLING 2 1/2 lbs. fresh figs 1/4 cup orange juice 4 Tbsp. honey While the dough is chilling, make the filling. Wash and drain the figs, then cut off their tops and halve them. Puree the figs in a food processor. Pour the puree into a nonstick saucepan and add the orange juice and honey, combining well. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates and the mixture is thick, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. This will yield about 1 1/2 cups of filling. Remove the dough from the refrigerator after two hours and divide it into four parts. Roll each part out to a rectangle about 11 x 5 inches and one quarter inch thick, use extra flour if necessary. Spread about 1/3 cup of filling on one section of the dough. Then fold over each side to make a seam. Using two metal spatulas, turn the dough with the seam side down. Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet. Repeat with the other three sections of dough. Bake at 325 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool, then cut each roll into six cookies.

I think only one local grocery has fresh figs though, at something like $6/pound I might wimp out. Is anyone sure dried or packaged won't work? amy **************Start the year off right.
