maria's figs

After a three week diet of tropical delicacies of papaya, pineapple, jack fruit, assorted melons and bowls of limes squeezed onto and into most things, the local market fare of apples, stone fruit and imported oranges seems a tad dull.

However Nonna Maria has her sign out and was in her garden having harvested today's figs for sale.

Storage tips, straight from the grower, place in a single layer on a plate in the fridge, uncovered, select a fruit and bite into the cool, firm and jammy flesh.
Delicious.
