Fabulous, soft and sweet. Don't forget to PEEL the figs like I did--ended up running it all through my mini food processor. Tasted wonderful, but it was a bit thick.....

This is delicious. The only note I would add is please give better measurements as to shallots and figs. Shallots come in many sizes and giving a weight or TBS measurement would be most useful.

Had no figs, so I used a few teaspoons of fig jam. Also thinned with a tablespoon of water at the end. Used in a salad of arugula, crumbled chèvre, crispy prosciutto, toasted pine nuts, cooked beets and grilled chicken, finished with fleur de sel.

This is delicious!

Used this over a strawberry, arugula and feta salad - delicious!

Had no figs so I subbed a good tablespoon of fig preserves. Dressed a salad of arugula, goat cheese, crispy prosciutto, toasted walnuts. Wow!
