My New Favorite Dessert!

Thank you for all your great suggestion of how to use the figs that are ripening on the tree right now. You inspired me to check out some of our many cookbooks. In a Moroccan cookbook, it was suggested to just eat them simply with a few walnut pieces and drizzled with good quality honey. 
Can I just say YUM?! I didn't believe that figs could taste any better than they do just by themselves, but I stand corrected. Actually, this is so good it's hard to know when enough is enough...

I hope you are staying cool wherever you are! When it's so hot, it's hard to believe that many of you are experiencing winter right now... Anyway, whatever weather you are experiencing, I wish you a great Tuesday!!

  2. I do so love fresh figs! I have many fond memories of picking figs and eating them off the tree as a young girl when we would visit Portugal. sadly it's too cold here in the Northeast to have a fig tree :(

  3. Sounds delicious! But I just thought - I love dates wrapped with bacon and then fried - I think I need to try that with fresh figs...
    (Yes, I am hoping it will be time for dinner soon - I'm hungry! LOL)!
