The fig season is brief, but it makes us grateful for what we have. Our region has an excess of riches when it comes to this distinctive fruit, with kinds ranging from delicate white flesh to others with dark pink innards and molasses-like richness. For this pie, look for fresh figs at the farmers’ market, preferably Brown Turkey or Alma kinds.
Check to see if the bottom of the fig’s aperture is entirely closed. If it’s open, there’s a chance a wasp from the pollination process is still within. Keep an eye on the sweetness of the figs you’re using. You may wish to increase the amount of lemon juice if the figs are sweeter, or decrease it if the figs have a milder flavor. Make Figgy Cacao Fruit Pie and enjoy.
