Rebecca, I’m jealous of your tree
My grandfather calabrese, had trees and for years we dug them up wrapped them an buried them upside down in cleveland ohio for winter. As a child I got hit with a stick on a regular basis stealing fresh figs from the trees to eat them. I miss my grandfather and his humour when hed hit me knowing I was honoring his tree production by stealing fresh figs to eat.

I have a modified version I tried using dried fig placed into boiling water removed pot from heat after 5 minutes let them reabsorb the water for 15 minutes. Drained water and cooled in refrigerator to use the next day
I then cut the stems off them and used my fingertip to open the inside up without tearing the sides. I mixed chopped parsley and fine chopped walnuts into the creamy chevre/feta and since my piping bag would not cooperate I finger stuffed the mix into the figs placing them in an olive oil sprayed pan to cook. I then decided for decoration I took walnut halves and placed one into the feta mix on top.. before cooking yummy. After cooking I tried some basaltic reduction glass on top of some…I’ll admit it is a nice added flavour but I’m not a huge balsamic fan since a french quarter restaurant in New Orleans served me a ice creme sunday with balsamic reduction, since then I avoid all but a little balsamic in my cooking and salad dressings. And for that chef I say…”NO BALSAMIC REDUCTION DOES NOT TASTE LIKE CHOCOLATE SYRUP!”

I love pecans too, I’m glad you liked it.
