PREPARATION:

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. On a sheet pan, par cook bacon until it begins to render some fat and turns golden brown around the edges, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly and then wrap a slice of bacon (trimming any excess) around a fig and close with a toothpick. Repeat this with the remaining figs and bacon.
2. The figs can be prepared up to this point a few hours ahead. Broil the figs until they are roasted through and the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Watch them carefully so they do not burn. Drizzle with the Saba and serve immediately.
