Lazy Mom's Roasted Fig Salsa

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!
