We picked figs this week in our garden. Up here on the slopes of Mt Etna the figs ripen a little later in the season. Down in the valley or along the coast of Sicily the figs can be ready to pick as early as June, or maybe July.
For us, here in Belpasso, the figs are smaller this year, due to the hot, dry summer. but they are sweet and delicious!!
We added some recipes using these fresh picked figs. We hope you try making some of them. Please, let us know what you think!!
