This is dessert week-Dress to Impress
My final dessert entry for the Real Women of Philadelphia-Paula Deen Cookbook challenge. On the outside, figs are homely little fruit but when you slice them to open their insides are dressed up and ready for any party.
I adore figs for their ability to dress up your plate all on their own, not to mention, adding their delicious natural sweetness to any dish!
