Lazy Mom's Roasted Fig Salsa

Submitted by Peachie Keene

"A warm, sweet, and delicious spin on salsa. The seasonings are presently listed 'to taste' because you can just sprinkle the toppings generously or by preference and you really can't go wrong :) Serve alone warm, chill and serve the next day, serve alongside sour cream, or on top of cream cheese with crackers. I hope you enjoy!"
