Another one of my favorite fresh fig recipes is my Fresh Fig Bundt Cake which is moist and a real treat during fig season. Next time you see fresh figs in the grocery, you now have some simple, delicious easy fig recipes. Remember, they are high in fiber and potassium, combined with sweet caramelized onion, salty prosciutto and creamy goat cheese turn pizza into a palate pleasing masterpiece. Sometimes I use fig preserves for the marmalade.
