Fig recipes

Our collection of fig recipes include ideas for both fresh figs – with their sticky, jammy texture – and super sweet dried figs. Plus, they work well in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Try our sticky fig pudding, fig and pistachio friands, fig and burrata pizza or our stunning franginpane fig tart for a crowd.
