First ripe Petite Negri (pics)

Hi all.
I kept this plant from going dormant inside the house in front of a south facing window before the frosts came and now I am being rewarded. 
I received this cutting from a generous forum member and it is it's first year.
The taste reminded me of the black missions I get at the grocery store but the skin was chewier.
(I haven't tasted very many figs yet).

Here are some pictures from today of my feast.
