yuMMY! i left out the meat as i am vegetarian. can't wait to make again! the sour cream and provolone really make the difference in this one.

- these are a wee bit messy for a dinner party but are very yummy and are worth the hassle. - fresh figs are in season during sept/oct. - i didn't have all ingredients on hand so the substitutions i made were: sweet marsala wine and macadamia nuts. - make a mascarpone/spirits mixture suited to your taste by making a test batch with 1T cheese and 1T liquer 1/2T sugar. i tried brandy and found it was too strong for me and then i tried the marsala and found it to be much more palatable. - the mascarpone/liquer mixuture was soupy in the proportions in the recipe so it was difficult to actually 'stuff' the figs. it is easier to dip the cut side of the fig in the mascarpone mix and then immediately dip the the same side in the nuts. - definitely chill before serving.
