Figs, an often overlooked fruit, appear to be making a comeback -- And rightfully so. Happily they're being seen on more Orange County menus these days. They're usually harvested in late summer and early fall, but are frequently dried and available all year long. If picked or purchased during its season, figs should be enjoyed fairly quickly, as their shelf life is rather short. California is the largest fig producer in the United States and there are hundreds of varieties to chose from. Many can be purchased at a Certified Orange County Farmers' Market. Before shopping for the perfect fig for your salad, main course entree, ice cream, milkshake or sauce, be sure to check out this link, which provides some of the most comprehensive information found about figs on the Internet. Figs aren't just for Newtons anymore. Enjoy 'em and happy National Fig Week.
