I didn’t have my first current fig until I was 29. We had been on our honeymoon in France and I consider a superb good friend had been simply these days raving about them.

You all, I have no idea why it took my so prolonged to get ahold of a current fig and, should you want to love one factor immediately, buy it at a farmers market in France for the first time! You perceive, as potential!*

And it was that fateful morning that I found the enjoyment of current figs, honey, sea salt, and a current cheese (I liked it with every brie and goat cheese that morning).

Now we’re in a position to’t have a charcuterie board with out honey and ending salt!

Honey + Fig Appetizer

I’m pretty sure any fig appetizer would have my establish on it, nonetheless this setup is heavenly! I sometimes uncover honey to be too sweet, nonetheless the tart goat cheese and the ending salt truly decrease the sweetness, letting it intensify the current fruit fully.

Because of the honey spreads so merely, I wish to advocate not drizzling the fig appetizer plate with honey and salt until merely sooner than serving OR let firm drizzle honey and sprinkle salt themselves.

I do want to look at that it’s truly the combo of all 4 objects that’s so unbelievable though, so maybe drizzle it for them so that they don’t go attempting it the mistaken strategy!

I’ve had dried figs, in any case, nonetheless current figs are a really fully totally different story. They’re juicy, sweet, and actually gentle in style in distinction to their dried counterpart. Don’t get me mistaken, I nonetheless love dried figs, nonetheless current figs are a complete new stage for me.
