Recipes Using Figs

Recipe: Grilled Figs with Feta and Honey

If you would prefer to you can broil the figs six inches from broiler heat source instead of grilling them. Feel free to garnish each fig with a pinch of finely chopped fresh basil, mint, or prosciutto before serving. This treat is very rich so adjust ingredient amounts needed according to appetites; my experience is one to two whole figs per person.

Recipe: Heavenly Fresh Fig Cobbler

We have an abundance of fresh figs now with two trees loaded with fruit. We love eating them out of hand, but needed another way to use them. This is so easy, quick, and simple that I think anyone who has access to fresh figs should add this to their cookbooks.
