Christie’s Favourites: Figs12
So many recipes, so little time!
I thought a good way to keep track of all the gorgeous recipes I find everyday at my favourite food blogs was to start posting a weekly round up featuring a theme ingredient.
That way I can share my discoveries with you and save a load of bookmarks for myself. Clever, huh?
If you (or I) ever want to find a particular archived ingredient in this series, the nifty little search bar in the top right hand corner will prove very helpful.
This week’s ingredient is FIGS.
Can you believe that I haven’t posted a single fig recipe? Shame on me *slaps hand*. Perhaps this list of delicious recipes will spur me on to actually share a fig recipe in the near future. That is, if I can stop shoving them down my throat long enough to photograph them!
Here we go:
- Fig Balsamic Sauce is one of the best uses for figs I have ever seen! That wonderful White On Rice Couple sure are clever. It’s perfect for drizzling over cheese which is another one of my favourite things!
- My deep love of Arnotts Fruit Pillows makes this Fig Bar recipe from LemonPi high up there on my to-do list.
- Wild Fig and Rose Ice cream, need I say more? The lovely Not Quite Nigella (she’s better!) has done it again.
- I’m not usually a pizza fan, but Jaden at Steamy Kitchen’s Warm Fig, Apple and Gorgonzola flat bread is something super special indeed.
- Jane Spice, you have my heart with your delicious Fig and Polenta Cake with Cinnamon.
- I could eat Allen’s Cinnamon Fig Jam all day long… and it’s another great accompaniment for cheese!
- Baked Figs with Mozarella from Peter at Souvlaki for the Soul is a fabulous combination.
- I think these Fig, Pear and Bacon Wraps from What’s For Lunch Honey? would be oh-so-good with a crispy confit duck leg, don’t you?
Have you got a favourite fig recipe? Leave me a link in the comments.
Happy eating, Christie

Hi, I'm Christie
My blog features healthy and easy everyday recipes, restaurant and cookware reviews and travel stories. Read more about me...
Hey Christie! Thanks for the shout out! This is a great little summary. I vote for Meeta.
Thanks Christie! I think you’d definitely love the ice cream. And it seems fitting that your first round up would include figs ;)
ooh, friend made figs wrapped in prosciutto grilled then drizzled with balsamic for nibbles the other day at lunch. Oh my god, I was stuffing my face!
What a great idea to have a favorite recipe roundup. So simple and brilliant. I am jealous of your fresh figs. Figs don’t grow in my area and I haven’t had a fresh one in years!
My two figgy favorites from this year are Fig and Rosemary Tart and Lamb with goat cheese and figs
ooh, i don’t like to actually eat figs – it’s a texture thing – but i could all over that fig balsamic sauce like…well, like white on rice.
Oh you’ve just reminded me about that ice-cream Lorraine posted about. I still want to make it one day…
the wild fig + rose ice cream sounds enticing! figs are perfectly gorgeous & delicious. I love them fresh with granola as posted recently *breakfast beauty + memory of light*. am bummed that fig season is leaving us…..
Figs are my favorite fruit, so your list is great. I have been on a macaron kick and so I am working on a Fig Macaron.
Oh lord, you are a woman after my heart! I knew you LIKED figs (hence the name of the blog, eh?), but a roundup of fig recipes?!! xoxoxo
A sneaky treat: organic dried figs, topped with marinated fetta – too good.
Incredibly simple, but incredibly delicious –
3 cups tawny port
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1 bag of dried figs
Steep everything together – magic happens when this is poured over vanilla ice cream!
