It's Fig Season!

We are over run with figs and I just love it when they come in.  We share them with the birds, raccoons and squirrels, but not because we actually want to.   So far this year we have frozen them, dried them, made jam and roasted them with olives, honey and feta cheese.  It is keeping us busy to keep up with the fig trees, but you know we will be sorry to see them go. I am glad we have some to use in the winter. Oh - the Copper Grape Leaf Bowl holding the fig preserves is available in our online...

Olives and Honey - Why not?

I have a feeling that you either love or hate olives.   One of my favorite olive dishes is baked feta with olives, figs and fresh herbs drizzled with honey!  Salty feta, brined olives, sweet figs and honey just spark off of each other   These Early California Olives are perfect with the figs and feta.  I think I might need to make some more soon! you can find our Square Copper Bowls and Olive Ladle in our online store.

How to  Serve Olives Like a Pro

Olives can be pretty messy, but they are just so good.   I use this little grape leaf olive ladle dips the olive out of the deepest jars.  It saves liquid in - if you don't turn the jar over like I did, which is why the jar in the picture has very little liquid. Don has this way of sticking the cocktail thru the olive and into the hole in the ladle when he serves them.  I have not yet mastered this technique.

High Haven Honey

It is time for figs and we have two trees producing almost more than we can use.  Since it is a once-a- year treat we indulge ourselves with these roasted figs with cheese and drizzled with honey.  This year we have some extra special honey for our long awaited figs - at least the ones the birds and raccoons don't get. A friend from New England sent us some High Haven Honey and it is wonderful.  The flavor is very different from what we have in the South East US.  It has more of a rich taste and the color has a beautiful...
