How'd they taste compared to fresh? Was the fig cooked alll the way through or was the bottom raw? Very good idea, Mrs FMD! __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Thanks for sharing this, Frank! Looks delicious (and I assume you wouldn't post it if it didn't also taste delicious). Thanks to Mrs. D (or Mrs. FMD) too. Mike central NY state, zone 5A __________________ Pauca sed matura.

Mrs. FMD thanks you all. Bob, the brûlée torch caramelizes the surface of the fig giving it a crusty /crunchy texture. The bottom part of the fig remains jammy and figgy. It makes for a nice combination of tastes and textures. Yes, it made a very nice desert, Mike. We had a guest for dinner and she raved about them. __________________ Frank Tallahassee, FL Zone 8b North Florida Figs

Dale, she used Manchego Cheese, but any good aged cheese will suffice. Can't beat that seet and savory combination. Charles, my wife was thinking of producing gourmet fig products for sell but that's pie in the sky. so to speak. We are currently in the process of making a batch of fig preserves using ginger an lemon to give it that special bite. We are also making fig leather and experimenting with various spices, including cinnamon, anise, chiles etc. __________________ Frank Tallahassee, FL Zone 8b North Florida Figs
