Topic: Rather a lot of figs

[cocopops]

My neighbour is away at the moment and his fig tree is producing copious amounts of fruit.  I have been told to help myself and estimate that there will be 50+ figs.

Does anyone have any good recipes or links to sites where I can get them.

Cheers

Try these - http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Figs

Jamie Oliver did a salad with figs, proscuttio and mozarella.  You could make fig jam.  They're nice cut in quarters almost to the base then filled with a dollop of cream cheese and topped with a walnut.  You could make jam.

Rick Stein did a fig tart with fresh figs.  I expect the BBC Food pages have fig recipes too.

Found that they go great in a mayoish dressing with Crab - & tonight it was with Jamon.

Thank you for the replies.  I have had for breakfast; fig, Greek yogurt and honey.  Lovely but great for the diet.  I have also made 2.5 kg  of jam in my breadmaker which has a jam setting.  In retrospect I probably should have chopped the less ripe ones as is quite chunky.  Waiting for it to set to try.  looking on the net it will be great with cured hams, cheese as well as on toast.  There is still loads to be harvested; when ripe so I will be looking at other recipes as suggested. 

I love Rick Steine's recipe's and fingers crossed for a book from Father Christmas.  On similar tac, I have found a website that will be stocking the mixes for some of the curried he cooked in his 'Far Easter Odysea', all MGM free and sounds fab.  Contact me if you are a fan and want the details.
