It’s fig season again in Northern California! These luscious, versatile fruits are starting to appear in the local farmers markets.
There are many varieties of figs out there, but only a few are common in California. One of my favorites is the mission fig, which is deep purple in color and very sweet. This fig has two seasons – one in July for about two weeks and the other in the September-October timeframe.
Here is one of my favorite fig recipes using black mission figs – Roasted Figs with Goat Cheese and Serrano Ham.
