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