This appetizer is absolutely delicious. I used it as a substitute for Brie with Fig Compote which I had at the Dallas Art Musum and it was fantastic. This was a finer spread not as goopy, is that a word? I will do it again and again. Someone suggested we bottle it. Not me, but maybe you, the fig spread that is.
