A bit of bend at the stem and a slight weariness to the skin both indicate better ripeness and flavor that taunt shiny skins and stems that look like they're. This is a combination of several fresh fig appetizer recipes. The flavors of fresh figs, tangy goat cheese, salty almonds, sweet honey, and balsamic vinegar contrast to make these a delicious and very pretty appetizer. Tons of colors and fashionable styles.
