fig Tart

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.

Fig Tart

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!
