Favourite fruit fresh figs!!!

Fresh figs. Photograph by Tim IrvingI've had my eye on these little beauties for the past week, and this morning they became ripe enough for me to pick. Getting the first fig of the year is a tough business, I'm competing with several elderly widows who walk earlier than me and beat me to it every year - but not today! They're my first figs of the year and for the next few weeks I'll stuff myself with them while walking my dog Eddie.

  2. Oh how I love figs! Just made an incredibly simple dessert last night - sliced ripe figs, a spoonful of fromage blanc, bits of walnuts, and drizzled honey on top! HEAVEN!

  4. Fresh figs are indescribable, and so unlike their dried selves. Nice photo of a sensuous fruit.
