We have a huge old fig tree in a yard that is once again heavily loaded in ripening figs. I'd never eaten a fresh fig before last year and only had a couple then. Honestly I have no idea what you do with them. Can you make them into cobblers? Pies? My granny had a fig tree but it was never anything more than a large green bird feeder, we didn't eat the figs.

You should find out how to make fig newtons. Mmm.

Mmmm cookies. I think those might be darker types of figs. My figs don't seem very figgy in comparison.

That made me LOL. Your figs are lacking the figginess.

when you cook them, they darken.

I like them raw, but also grilled, or wrapped in prosciutto w/ gorgonzola.
