Quick Pickled Figs will make a great addition to a cheese board with the added bonus you get Balsamic Fig Vinegar out of it as well!
Fun with figs started when I found a case of fresh Black Mission Figs at the store....
You can add these to a salad (with blue cheese and nuts!), add to a charcuterie board, dice and add to a cheese pizza, drizzle with honey and serve with cheese and crackers.
You can use the fig vinegar as you would a flavoured vinegar. However, since they are not canned they have to be kept refrigerated.
The vinegar should keep like pickle juice would but if you are not going to use it up you might consider freezing the juice in small quantities to use in salad dressings.
