I was dissapointed in this pie, but I think that I'm just not a big fan of figs. (This is too bad since I have a fig tree in my front yard!) The taste was funny and not terribly appealing. That said, I think if you know that you like figs it would be worth trying. While the taste of figs is overwhelming to me, I think the rasberries are a good pairing with them.

I have a fig tree in my back yard and I enjoyed this pie. I even compensated my lack of raspberries with extra figs and my whole family loved it (my mom doesn't even like figs). I left out a little of the ginger, but overall this is a good recipe.
