Fresh Fig Chutney





This morning, I met Farmer Steve(above) at the Poway Farmers Market (PFM). He had some fruits in his stall that no one else had. Jujube, Sapote, Figs and Raw Banana to mention a few. I picked up some figs and farmer Steve was generous enough to add a few green figs to my basket. On the way home I thought I could make fig and honey ice cream as the fig were very sweet and ripe or a dessert but instead I tried a new chutney. I used roasted green and crushed red chillis, garlic and a few spices. My entry to Lore's Original Recipe event.

Uma, It was sweet because figs were sweet but I added the roasted chillies and it got a little spicy.It had a sweet and spicy taste in the end.

This sure looks like a delicious way to use up those fresh figs! Although we only had dried figs available around here, this year our luck has changed :D
