This is the perfect recipe for figs lovers!

Puglia is a big figs producer. Everywhere in the countryside you can see fig trees full of their delicious fruit!
Of course the best figs are those that you can eat just under the tree.
However, when you have picked and eaten too many figs, it's also a good idea to start thinking about the winter season when you cannot find them fresh anymore.
