In Season - October

Fig

Once soft fruit and summer berries have peaked, figs are a great source of sweetness. Not just in desserts, but to balance out the sharpness in dishes that contain big, salty ingredients like blue cheese. One salad we often make around this time of year combines quartered figs with peeled, late-season tomatoes and Gorgonzola, dressed with olive oil, salt and moscatel vinegar.
