    1. I used dried figs, I'm planning on making another recipe with fresh figs this month. More than likely will be a fresh fig dessert...

  9. OK - I make fruit muffins all the time and never thought to use figs! Definitely using them the next go around - I wonder if fresh figs would work? Thanks for organizing #figlove - such creative recipes and so many different uses!
