I love fresh figs. Maybe they are special to me because they are only available for a few weeks each year, and I live in Michigan, where we don't grow figs. True, I enjoy fig jam, fig newtons, and dried figs year-round, but I'm always excited when I find fresh ones at the market and eagerly pay a small fortune to bring home a case.
Crispy flatbread topped with creamy gorgonzola, sweet figs, and delicate prosciutto. A perfect appetizer at your next gathering on the deck or patio.
Fresh figs are available here in Michigan for just a short while in early fall. I always buy a case (or two) but they have a very short shelf life so you need to use them quickly. This amazing salad is a great start to a fig-centric feast.
Fall has been in the air here in Michigan. It has been cooling down in the evenings, begging us to put on hoodies, light a campfire, and make S'Mores. Daytime temps are still beautiful with tons of sunshine so I am happy for the season to commence.
