  Place figs and water in saucepan.  Bring to hard boil,
  then lower heat to simmer.  Cover and let cook 20

  gently in order not to break figs.  Cover and simmer
  again for about 20 minutes or until figs are plump and
  transparent.  Cool in syrup.  Add a little water, if
  needed, but keep it rich.  Just before serving, insert
  toasted almond in each fig.  Delicious with roast
  turkey, baked chicken, beef, pork or ham.
