This simple recipe makes a delightful breakfast treat or even qualifies as a dessert in this household.  Figs are in season right now, so take full advantage of their availability and freshness.  Not only are they sweet and delicious, they are also a rich source of dietary fiber, potassium and calcium.  I used Organic Brown Turkey Figs, but any fresh figs you find would work.  They do not have a long shelf life, so only buy them a day or 2 before you plan to eat them.
