Dessert from the Orchard

My favorite dessert changes with the season. At the moment, my favorite dessert is tree ripened figs. I think they are nature's perfect candy. I roast them and serve it with cheese and make fig-ginger jam to go with morning toast. Most of all, I prefer to eat warm figs right out of the tree.

I use a ceramic egg cartoon to serve figs.

  1. My favourite luxury is fresh figs to serve with cheese. Sadly, here in The North, they are literally a luxury and sold individually at an outrageous price. So, as you can imagine, I envy you your fresh figs in the garden.

  3. Hello Komali,
    those striped figs are really beautiful. I have never seen them before. We had a big tree and harvested lots of figs every year. But now the tree died. So sad. I love figs and can imagine what delicious deserts you make with them.
    Best greetings, Johanna
