FIGS, figs, let me count the ways:

Salad with Feta Stuffed Figs


First there is ripe and sun warmed right off the tree, maybe as a treat while doing morning garden chores.

Next there is lunch- crackers spread with warm brie and a dollop of Fig Jam.

For after lunch desert, cold and fresh from the fridge - ripe whole figs.

Later there is the afternoon snack- Oatmeal Fig Bars, crispy and fine with a cup of tea.

For dinner, a salad with feta Stuffed Figs, pistachios, fresh garden greens with nasturtiums, a lemon-olive oil dressing with a swirl of honey.

End the evening with a dessert of warm Maple Syrup Stewed Figs with a spoon of organic vanilla ice cream!

No! Wait! Make that Broiled Figs in Peach Sauce.

Or how about Walnut Stuffed Figs cooked in a cinnamon cream sauce?
 
Don't forget a little something for a midnight kitchen raid....Dried Stuffed Figs rolled in coconut!!! 

Aah....FIGS.
