Fig Appetizers
Ripe fresh purple figs with rosy centers and luscious fresh green figs can make perfect cocktail fare. Allow 1 fig, quartered, for each guest. For each fig, cut 2 thin slices of prosciutto lengthwise into halves. Wrap a half slice around each fig quarter so that it looks like a rose. To serve, sprinkle with fresh lime juice and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs. Another favorite: Slice each fig lengthwise into halves, 1 fig per person. Into each half, spoon 1 teaspoon of Pecan Cream Cheese (see below). Sprinkle with finely chopped pecans.
