I don't have a recipe for what Im about to suggest but some places produce a Lonzino (?) di Fico. I bought one in Ancona once, apparently aroun d since Roman times. It looks like a fig sausage that you can slice. It was very tasty and I used to put it on meat when I roasted it. Sorry I know no more than that.
Your figs must be early ,

Here is another tasty recipe. It will last quite a few days if kept in the fridge. I will give you the basic proportions but you can increase those according to the amount of figs available.INGREDIENTS:1 dozen large fresh figs1 1/2 cups red wine (choose a good "fruity" variety, the better the wine, the better the results)3 tablespoons honeyPREPARATIONPut a medium pan over medium heat and add the wine and the honey. Stir together and bring to the boil.Add the whole figs and reduce heat.Poach gently until tender.Using a slotted spoon remove the figs and place on a dish.Increase the heat to reduce the wine and honey syrup.Return the figs to the syrup and allow to cool.Keep in a glass container with a tight lid. Refrigerate.You can serve them accompanied with walnut pieces and thick cream (or a good vanilla ice-cream)Enjoy!

This is from a river cafe cookbook and as far as I can remember is simply sauteed figs, peperoncino and marscapone cheese with Linguine. I can really recmmend it- whilst it sounds weird, its really uplifting and, if you were wondering, it doesnt do damage to your fossa

A wonderful sweet can be made by putting a layer of cooked figs in the bottom of 4" deep x 10" dia. then cover with equal amounts of plain yogurt and double cream mixed together. Sprinkle over demerera sugar. then just repeat unil the dish is full. Keep in fridge.This is delightful - just don't count the calories!!
