Doran Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 And, should I keep them in the fridge or on the counter? Thanks. Kim What a treat! Cut them in half and serve them with goat cheese. Add them to a salad (arugula is nice but usually out of season by the time figs are in) with balsamic vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles. Make a fig focaccia using your favorite fresh pizza dough. Spread with butter, thin sliced figs, sprinkling of brown sugar, zest of one lemon, and if you have it some lavender blossoms - just a touch. Bake at 350° until the crust is browned. Wow! This is one of my special favorites, a true "Doran" recipe that my market customers loved. Truth be told, though, most of the fresh figs I have eaten have been out of hand, completely on their own. Counter top is fine for a day, unless they are very ripe. Fridge is best if you're trying to keep them for any length of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely picking up some figs at the farmer's market and making the focaccia on Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doran Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 How long will they stay good in the fridge? Kim Not trying to be vague. Figs are rather fragile - at least the varieties I've dealt with. But, if you're planning to cook them anyhow, you can usually eke out a few extra days of refrigerator storage. They just get a little limp and not so pretty to look at, but they still taste divine. I'd say a medium ripe fig will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 prosciutto wrapped figs, with or without blue cheese or chevre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
