Several years ago we got an Alma fig from
Just Fruits and Exotics. I chose it because the fruits are a greenish color (with light purple tint) when ripe, fooling the birds into thinking they are unripe. Since I am not very good at protecting my garden, I thought it was a good choice for us. They started producing fruit a couple of years ago, and this year was looking to be a good crop. I had been checking the fruits daily and the ones I was looking at were unripe. Until today, all of a sudden I noticed several ripe figs, some were even starting to leak fluid, ready to burst at the seams.

I found this recipe for
Roasted Figs with Honey and Rosemary. I was in luck, we had recently extracted honey from our bees and my rosemary plant could use a nice trim. You could probably be really local and use a cheese from
Sweet Grass Dairy or another local cheese producer but all I had on hand was a feta and some whole wheat ritz crackers. It still tasted delicious.
