Smoked figs ?

UnConundrum · September 2008

I'm looking for something different for an appetizer next week, and picked up some fresh figs at the farmers' market today... Has anyone tried smoking figs? I did find a recipe on the web where they cut the figs in half, put them in a pan, cut side up, drizzled with molasses and a fruit juice. Smoked at 200 for 5 hours or so... turning the figs for the last hour. Sounds interesting... Any thoughts?

Try these. They were unbelievable! Feta or Blue cheese stuffed figs wrapped in canadian bacon/buckboard bacon.

After the cook.

I used this to wrap them.

They look great, but I gotta keep it vegetarian. I'm serving 17, 3 of which are vegetarians.. I'm cooking separate mains and soups, but wanted to keep at least one course "simple." I'm thinking about a piece of grilled homemade baguette, topped with chevre, some figs maybe drizzled with some honey. Just not sure about these smoked figs... Gonna have to test them tomorrow

Throw on some "bacon salt"! No meat!

I've got some figs & I'd like to give that a try, what was the method you used?

No prob. Cut an X in the top, place a chunk of either bleu cheese or feta into the X. Wrap in proscutto or canadian bacon or... Cook at 350F indirect until the meat starts to crisp. Take a large sword, and bravely fight everyone else off.
