Dulce de HigosEarly missionaries who settled in Baja planted fig trees and date palms, and many of these trees thrive even today. Fresh figs are a delicacy, and if not eaten out of hand, I think a simple compote is the one of best ways to enjoy this delightful fruit. Fresh ripe figs should be quite soft and eaten within a day or two of purchase.
