COOKS NOTES:
My ex husband used to say I could'nt follow a recipe to save my life. I always put my own little spin on things.
Here I am using :
Chevre Goat Cheese spiked with a little bit of rosemary from the garden
I also made a dipping sauce
6 Tb Honey
3-4 Tb Balsamic
Fresh Rosemary
Lemon Zest
I also used a Rosemary Sprig as a brush to apply sauce to figs
When Grilling figs I actually used tooth picks and placed them in my Jalapeno roasting grill rack shaped like to Great State of Texas.
