"I received these as a gift for Christmas and I was thrilled to see that they come from Belmonte in Calabria which is near my family’s hometown. They are wonderful."
This simple and ancient recipe has been prepared for centuries to preserve the juicy and thin-skinned Cosenza figs of Calabria. The figs are lightly baked, mixed with molasses and honey, wrapped in fig leaves, tied with straw, and baked again. Absolutely magnificent on a salume or cheese board. Unwrap the whole fig ball or slice in half, remove the fig leaf and serve! The caramelized fig and flavors are irresistible with any pecorino cheese or soft creamy cheeses.
