The Dried Form of the Fig

Dried figs are made by drying ripe fruit. The dried fig takes on a flattened shape, looks lightly dusted on the outside and gives a distinct crunch from the seeds inside. The white bloom sometimes seen on the surface is the fruit's own sugar coming through, not a sign of spoilage.

Dried Figs in the Kitchen

Serving them with walnuts in a bowl is the best-known use. Beyond that they appear in cake and biscuit doughs, breakfast bowls, beside cheese boards and in homemade jams and marmalades. A short spell in the refrigerator before slicing makes them easier to cut.
