Me too, I can’t wait for figs this summer! I had them for the first time a few years ago after moving to the US and they quickly became my favorite summer fruit. I also like the dried ones. This recipe looks exotic yet simple; I must try it.
By the way, I just completed an exercise geared at getting to know more about our favorite bloggers and I passed it on to you. Maybe you have done it before. If not, check out my blog to see how it works.
Cheers!

Leesie- fig milk was a surprise for me too when I learnt its benefit.

Jenn- You should definitely eat more figs if you hate drinking milk. It has the same calcium as milk.

JMom- I’ve never tried this with fresh figs. If you try, please share with us.

Tangled Noodle- It is really so easy to make. So we call it “sap”. Thank you for this. I couldn’t find the right word in the dictionary. It’s really interesting to find such helpful things in nature. There was a quotation: Nature has both the poison and its antidote.

OysterCulture- This can be my dream too. Fig dessert, tea, book and a tree to sit under.

Lisa- I think walnuts and dried figs go very well together.

Figs are so delicious, and stuffed with walnuts they’d be a great dessert! Sounds fantastic with ice cream too.

I love figs, not so much growing up as I thought they only existed in Fig Newtons, which I was not too fond of. This dish sounds spectacular. Fresh figs are incredible as well as incredibly versatile. I made something similar and served it with a creme fraiche ice cream and I can tell you it was amazingly refreshing. This dessert with a cup of tea and a good book, I see a perfect afternoon in my future.

These walnut-stuffed figs look wonderful and for such an simple recipe! I love the idea of serving this with ice cream. Your information about the sap of the fig tree makes me think of other foods from plants with such mechanisms like nettles and cashews (the sap from the stem can apparently blister the skin quite terribly). It should tell how good these foods are that the people who first found out about these ill-effects still persisted in eating them!

I’ll have to remember the fig milk on warts next time!

I wonder if this will work with fresh figs? Our neighbor has a tree and she always shares the bounty with us.

I really need to start eating fig more often. You may have just convinced me of that. Looks really good.
