Spring crop

The spring crop of figs on our tree are finally perfectly ripe. I've been eagerly awaiting this for at least a couple of months now. Yesterday I picked and ate an enormous amount of them. And then for dinner Mr X and I grilled some. I found this recipe online:

Grilled Figs with Rosemary and Honey (Serves two)

6 fresh, whole figs, trimmed and halved

1 Tbsp. honey2 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary

Grill the figs over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once midway through.
Divide between two plates. Drizzle one Tbsp. of honey over each plate of figs, then top each with a 1/2 Tbsp. of the chopped rosemary.

It was a surprisingly delicious success at our house. I would make it every night if I could. But I'm holding off so I can have enough ready for next weekend's big idea: Fig Pie.
