We Have Figs That We Don't Like

I don't know if it's the fact that I never grew up eating figs and now I don't have the palette for them, or the fact that they look like little alien eggs when you open them up..but I just don't like figs. The good thing is that we have plenty of friends that love these little fruits. 

Aside from us, our little pups absolutely love these things. Not a day goes by that I don't catch these two out by our fig tree, either eating the figs that have fallen or jumping to get the ones they can reach. Even though we don't like them I thought it would be fun to round up a few yummy sounding fig recipes as well as some non-traditional ways to use figs.

I'm a sucker for food and pretty bouquets, so maybe I'll learn to love these little weird looking fruits. But in the meantime, who wants some?
