When figs are ripe on the farm, it feels like a little celebration every time we pick a basket full. Here are three ways we love to enjoy these sweet jewels while they’re in season.
1. Eat ‘em Right Off the Tree
First and foremost, nothing beats eating figs fresh and raw, just like candy. There’s something about standing under the fig tree, picking the ripest fruit, and popping it straight in your mouth that just feels right. Sweet, sun-warmed, and bursting with flavor, it’s about as good as it gets.
2. Dress Up Your Salad or Charcuterie Board
Next up, we love slicing figs and tossing them into a fresh summer salad, especially with our homegrown tomatoes. Or, for a simple yet fancy treat, pair them with your favorite meats and cheeses. A good fig turns any meal into something worth talking about.
3. Make Easy Refrigerator Jam
If you ever find yourself with a few extra, making a quick refrigerator jam is one of our go-tos. It’s simple, delicious, and keeps that sweet fig taste around just a little longer. Here’s a recipe we like to use: Fresh Fig Refrigerator Jam. Slather it on biscuits, toast, or even a pork chop if you’re feeling adventurous.
