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.Gadgets:

A very nice way of using figs other than the normal methods
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.
I simply adore figs...your chutney looks great :-)

If only I had known what to do with figs before! I missed a whole new culinary experience. Love the sweet and spicy thing.
