Last of the summer black figs.
What are those things you peeled? Mushrooms?

You're just gonna drop that mouth-watering picture with no recipe attached? You brute!
Pretty much described everything in the title:
- Dufour Frozen Pastry; very buttery
- walnut honey cream cheese base
- sliced figs
- generously applied fig jam over the figs
Baked as per pastry instructions. Simple and delicious.
Looks so good!
I'm here for the recipe. 🧑🍳
Listed below; cheated on the pastry but no regrets.
Did you know that figs have dead wasps in them! In order for the fruit to grow, they require fig wasps. Fig wasps lay their eggs inside of the fig, pollinating the fig in the process before dying inside the fruit. Then, grubs hatch inside of the fig. Most of the grubs will mature and leave, but some, like male fig wasps, will never leave the fig and die inside it.
These are black mission figs and are self pollinating. We also have the fruits trees netted because other garden animals enjoy our fruits as much as we do. 😀
