Thanks! I have peaches and figs in the fridge and went googling to see if anyone had roasted them together. I plan to partially follow your recipe, but to skip the wine and instead add ground ginger with the honey and then put some raspberries and some mascarpone cheese.

It tastes amazing served warm with pancakes, or can be chilled and used as jam.
