Steps away from the century-old stone house where we are staying,
wild fig trees grow.
Amidst their aromatic scent, I plucked from their bounty, carrying them by folding up the hem of my dress.
All the while, I was dreaming up recipes.
A savory almond crust, goat cheese, fig, and honey tart.
Those flavours are a mixed marriage made in heaven.Enjoy natures bounty.

I wish figs were more readily available where I live. This tart sounds divine.

50 cents each here and they are quite small - our neighbor at our house by the ocean grew figs in his yard and shared his bounty -i was hooked SO GOOD.

You mean they don't just come in a foil bag all dried up and wrinkled? I love figs. I used to eat the fig filling out of fig Newtons when I was a kid. The Newton part was blah, so I through that part away.

The other day I was remembering a most delicious lunch I had on our first trip to Provence. You brought us somewhere for lunch. I ordered pasta with a fig and goat chees combination. My mouth still longs for it again.

Oh, yummmmmmm!
I have a plethora of plums right now and dreaming of a sweet plum cake or galette.
So far I have only dried them for winter.
