Preparation

  1. Cook the raspberries in a nonreactive pan with the sugar until they turn mushy and the sugar has melted. Press them through a sieve.
  2. Wipe the figs with a clean kitchen towel and cut off the stems.
  3. Pour a small pool of the sauce onto four individual plates. Slice the figs in quarters and arrange them in a circle on the plates. Put a dollop of creme fraiche or whipped cream in the center and top with a sprig of mint. Serve immediately with thin sugar cookies on the side.
