I'm blatantly stealing this from Annex, but if you just spread a little bed of fresh ricotta, spread some sliced ripe figs on top, and add toasted almond slivers and a thin drizzle of honey across everything it's a really good little dessert. That being said I also have a fig tree and I'm getting burned out on ricotta honey fig desserts, so I'm very open to other people's suggestions. I made some preserved sweet figs in syrup one time to try to make fig old fashioneds, and they were decent enough, but still not as good as Luxardo cherries.
Wasted not waisted
Got it - Thank you, Lisa.

Thanks, Vince! I shall try this ricotta dessert! Hopefully we’ll get some more ideas coming in.
I try to enjoy figs raw any chance I get. Fig jam could be a nice home grown gift. You could probably sell them too.
