Black Mission Fig Harvest

The figs were perfect for picking today.  They should be fully ripe with some tiny white breaks in the skin.  I will be making fig jam, cookies and grilling them.  Another way to eat them is simply cut in half with a fresh basil leaf, goat cheese and drizzled with Balsamic Vinegar.  The black mission fig was brought to the US from Spain by the Missionaries.
