How do you eat figs?
Figs can be eaten in their entirety. So the flesh, skin, and seeds are all edible. Al you need to do is cut the stem off.
What do figs taste like?
As far as the taste of figs, they are best eaten straight from the tree. They have a sweet honey-like taste, and a jam-like texture. The seeds are very small and don't really taste of anything but add to a slightly crunchy texture.
This delicious recipe has been generously shared by one of our Lovefoodies supporters, Deborah Lafever. Deborah is lucky enough to have a fig tree, and this Fig Cobbler is one of many recipes Deborah makes with the harvest from her tree!

Susan Johnston
says:Like Kathleen above, I added 3/4 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of spice. Instead of cinnamon I used apple pie spice. I actually made a double recipe and cooked it in an antique berry/cobbler pan for twice the time. This recipe is a keeper!
Deborah
says:Im trying jack fruit. It is baking in the oven. Can’t wait
Carol
says:Can you use dried figs? I have lots of dried chopped fig pieces. I could add some liquid like water or apple juice.
Lovefoodies
says:Hi Carol, yes of course. I’d be tempted to soak them overnight before you use. Hope that helps!
Millie Bruton
says:Is the sugar you put on the figs in addition to the cup listed??
Lovefoodies
says:Hi Millie, you use 1/2 cup of sugar over the figs and the other 1/2 cup melted with the butter for baking. Hope the helps!
Susan
says:Delicious!
I added –
1 teaspoon baking powder
I egg
Nutmeg
A definite hit! We have a fig tree so it’s a great way to use the fruit.
Kathleen
says:Very good! Added 3/4 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
Christy
says:So is the flour supposed to be self rising? I fixed this with all purpose flour because that’s what I assumed “flour” meant. Needless to say this did not turn out well. Wasted my ingredients. Recipe needs to be a little more detailed if that’s the case.
Kristina Davison
says:Added cinnamon. It was good
Rtomarchio
says:What size pan and how about baking powder?
Emily
says:My figs have thick green skin. Should I leave that on, or use only the soft pink part?
Sarah
says:What size of a dish should we use??
lindawjones
says:Is the half cup of sugar for the figs included in the one cup in the recipe? Do I use the other half cup in the cobbler, or a full cup? Thanks.
Lovefoodies
says:Hi Linda, yes, it’s a total of 1 cup of sugar. Divide it in half and use half for over th figs and the other half in the cobbler mixture.
Sorry if you got confused!
Please enjoy
Linda Clark
says:Please ask your contributors to be specific about products ……like fresh, frozen or canned. Also the size of the dish is so important. If one doesn’t have that size dish, at least they know how to adjust to fit what they do have….and ALWAYS give a suggested time to check it….and for the benefit of your young, inexperienced cooks, I suggest adding the tip about laying a piece of aluminum foil, shiny side up, over pound cakes, cobblers, pies ….almost anything that is brown enough but obviously needs to cook more. When I write recipes to share with my young friends, I give any tips I think they might need and try not to leave an unclear instruction.
