FIG PIE
Fig season is a fleeting time, but one that makes us grateful to live in the South. With so many different varieties from delicate white-fleshed ones to others with dark pink interiors and molasses-like sweetness, our region has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to this unique fruit. For this pie we recommend finding fresh figs at the farmers' market and relying on varieties like Brown Turkey, Alma, or Black Italian. Make sure to look if the opening on the bottom of the fig is completely closed. If it's open, there's a small chance a wasp could still be inside from the pollination process. Also take note of the sweetness level of the figs you use. If they're on the sweeter side, you might want to increase the amount of lemon juice or decrease it if the figs have a lighter taste.

Combine eggs, sugar, flour, butter, lemon juice, and ginger in a medium bowl, and stir vigorously until well blended. Pour over figs in piecrust.
- Bake on bottom rack of preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F; bake until center is set, about 40 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream.
FRESH FIG PIE TO WELCOME FALL
Fresh figs and a piecrust are about all you need for this satisfying pie. To prepare the figs, trim away their tiny stems and cut them lengthwise in half or into quarters. Big chunks work best, so use a knife, not a food processor for this job. I think combinations of fruit would be wonderful. If you come up with one, let me know. I'm thinking figs and peaches; or pears; or apples; or bananas.....

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, and stir with a fork to mix well.
- In a medium bowl, combine the figs and the sugar-flour mixture, and toss gently to mix them evenly. Pour the figs into the piecrust, and mound them up toward the center in to a little pile. Pour lemon juice over the figs, and dot with the bits of butter.
- Cover with the top crust and press the sides together to seal them well. Trim and fold the edges under firmly; then crimp to seal the pie, or press the edges down with the tines of a fork to seal them and make a pretty design. Use a fork or a knife to make steam vents so that steam and juicy filling can escape as the pie cooks.
- Place in the 400 degree F oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake until the filling is thick and juicy and bubbling out around the top of the pie, and until the crust is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. *Transfer to a cooling rack or a folded kitchen towel to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FRESH FIG PIE
Figs must be in season in California right now because I see them all over. I had a mini fig tart last week from a local bakery and it was delicious. It did not have any creme. Just a pastry shell, very small figs, quartered with a sugary glazing on top. Simple and delicious. I'm trying to find a recipe that duplicates it. I found this recipe on iFood.tv and want to save it here because this is where I keep my recipes.

Steps:
- Peel and slice figs (enough for 3 cups).
- Stir sugar, orange peel, and lemon juice into figs.
- Turn fruit into unbaked pie shell.
- Dot with butter.
- Bake at 450 degrees 10 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe figs: The fresher the figs, the better the pie will taste. Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when you press them.
- Don't peel the figs: The skin of the figs adds flavor and texture to the pie. Just wash the figs well before using them.
- Use a combination of sugar and cornstarch: This will help to thicken the pie filling and prevent it from being too runny.
- Don't overcook the pie: The figs should be soft but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make the figs mushy.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Fresh fig pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, juicy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give fresh fig pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
