Ginger Spiced Pickled Figs

By Sue  Lau | Palatable Pastime

Ginger Spiced Pickled Figs  is  my  recipe of the day with the blogging  group Sunday Funday.  We get together on Sundays to share   recipes on a common  topic.  This week we are posting recipes that include ginger.

I am sharing my recipe for ginger spiced  pickled figs. This time of year fresh figs are plentiful so  it’s perfect. Easy to  make, you can get a jar going  in your fridge in just minutes.

After a few days,  the syrup  has perfectly soaked them in flavor. Then  they are perfect as they are, served with cheese on a platter or charcuterie board, or placed on a cracker with whipped cream cheese or soft goat cheese.

You’ve probably noticed by now that I  like  lots of things on  crackers  with goat cheese. And of  course I am going  to share  my  best creations  of those with you.

The ginger  and spices give the figs a little sultry  bite and everything just works out. But don’t just dump  that syrup  when  you  are done. Try adding  a little to  your homemade vinaigrettes afterward  or use it again to pickle something  else. It is loaded with the wonderful flavors of fig and spice.

With my extras,  I am thinking of dropping in some feta cheese and nicoise olives and see what happens. Be adventures that way! You might be amazed at your discoveries.
