I found this in a Good Housekeeping magazine while on vacation at Edisto Beach, SC. This succulent dessert is low in calories, high in fiber, and is chocolate dipped. Luckily, my neighbor has a fig tree.

Yield 2 , 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 tablespoon bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
2 figs
1/8 sea salt (pinch)

Steps:

Melt chocolate; cool slightly. Cut 2 fresh figs in half lengthwise and dip in melted chocolate. Set on a wax-paper lined plate. Sprinkle the chocolate with a pinch of sea salt. Refrigerate about 10 minutes or until set.

Tips:

Choose ripe figs: Look for figs that are plump, slightly soft to the touch, and have a deep color. Avoid figs that are bruised or have any signs of mold.
Handle figs gently: Figs are delicate, so handle them with care to avoid bruising them. Use a sharp knife to cut them, and be careful not to squeeze them too hard.
Remove the stems: Before eating or cooking figs, remove the stems. To do this, simply snap the stem off at the base of the fig.
Enjoy figs fresh: Figs are best enjoyed fresh. They can be eaten on their own, added to salads, or used as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal.
Preserve figs: If you have a lot of figs, you can preserve them by canning, freezing, or drying them. This will allow you to enjoy them all year long.

Figs are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are eating them fresh, cooking them into a dish, or preserving them for later, there are endless possibilities for enjoying this sweet and flavorful fruit.
