Preheat oven to 180 ºC. Toast almonds in a hot pan or oven until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside. Halve pears lengthwise and cut each half into three wedges, discarding the cores. Quarter figs lengthwise. Chop mixed dried fruit if necessary. Melt together sugar and butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is melted completely. Stir in vanilla essence, cinnamon, nutmeg and figs until well coated. Roast in oven for 20 minutes or until pears are tender. Stir in almonds. Serve fruit mixture warm with sour cream or vanilla ice cream.
