Ripe fresh purple figs with rosy centers and luscious fresh green figs
can make perfect cocktail fare. Allow 1 fig, quartered, for each guest.
For each fig, cut 2 thin slices of prosciutto lengthwise into halves. Wrap
a half slice around each fig quarter so that it looks like a rose. To
serve, sprinkle with fresh lime juice and freshly ground black pepper.
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
Another favorite: Slice each fig lengthwise into halves, 1 fig per
person. Into each half, spoon 1 teaspoon of Pecan Cream Cheese (see
below). Sprinkle with finely chopped pecans. PECAN CREAM CHEESE 1/2 cup
