Another wonderful, flavor-filled recipe. Great post!


I 'm a fig lover from way back, krum! I have no luck growing them but I pay the price for them when our little Italian grocery has the fresh ones in stock. Enjoy this one, my friend.

Oh, by the way... many would disagree with you assessment of "sweet"! Believe me when Chicagoland and me get together, you WILL be there! Love ya, krum...


You drew me back again with this one. I love the flavor combination and I know the family will rave over it. On the short list of foods to make.


Thanks so much, nym! We did a small brie yesterday at "snack" time and came close to this. It was great! Thanks for your five.
