There is NOTHING like a fresh fig. There is a restaurant in Santa Rosa called Zazu that would stuff a fresh fig with gorganzola and wrap it in Black Pig bacon....can I say delicious?

I would love to try making fig jam. I think fresh figs would be good on a salad with nuts and some sort of soft cheese. Mmmm, maybe some sort of fig sauce on a pork chop? But mostly I think we'd just gobble them up.
