Fresh figs perfect for a picnic....

Figs are in season!  Woohoo!  On Wednesday of last week, I picked up some fresh Turkey figs at the Downtown Raleigh Farmer's Market.  Yum!  Figs are one of my favorite things to eat and are perfect in many picnic dishes.  Below you will find a recipe that is just unreal and pairs perfectly with grapes, pears, and an assortment of cheese and crackers.

Prosciutto wrapped Fresh Figs

• 4 large whole figs halved
• Goat cheese
• 1 (3-ounce) package prosciutto
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With parchment paper line a baking sheet and set aside.

Halve each fig and make a small indention in the center of each. Fill each indention with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.  Tear in half one slice of prosciutto and wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. Toothpicks can be used to secure.  Place on prepared baking sheet.

Combine honey and cinnamon and drizzle over figs.  Place in the oven and roast them for 8 to 10 minutes. 

Pair this with a great wine and fresh fruit, cheese and crackers.  Delicious!
