Moxy Thoughts

July 26, 2018 in

It’s 5 days until August and the most amazing surprise showed up at our market this week – figs!  Figs are generally in season from August through October, but once they’re picked they don’t last long, so use them close to when you buy them.  Figs have been around since ancient times and are filled with nutritional goodies like potassium and magnesium.

At our house, we love figs and make them as a delicious and easy dessert whenever we can.  The flavor is remarkably sweet but also complex and works so well topped with balsamic vinegar and goat cheese.  I know a lot of people who just trim and eat them fresh, but I think that grilling them to get that caramel flavor just makes them absolutely irresistible.

Hope you enjoy this simple recipe and post some pics of yours!  Would love to see how you enjoy this amazing fruit this season.
