Home Grown Figs - from this........
to This!!!! It was so easy & so delicious.
We have two fig trees and I had a good amount ripening really fast, so I took out my
Puff Pastry- I always keep one in the freezer.
I lined 2 sheet pans with
I unfolded the puff pastry and laid it out on the sheet pans.
I cut the pastry sheet into 6 squares. You can make them as large or small as you wish.
Cover and place in the refrigerator while you prepare the topping. The dough needs to be very cold.
Pre Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut up your fruit and arrange on the cold dough.
I made a pattern using the dark & white figs.
Sprinkle with sugar and bake at 400 degrees until browned and puffed up approx. 40 minutes.
Remove when browned.
Last minute take some jelly or jam and 
Take the lid off and microwave for 15 seconds or until hot and thin (be careful the jar gets hot) or heat in a pan.
Brush over the top of the warm tarts. cool andÂ
Serve...THEY ARE DELICIOUS! Try apple, berry, the fig was amazing with the black cherry jam. Get creative and have fun.

This recipe sounds and looks delicious. I am definately going to try it when I find some fresh figs at the grocery store…..Thanks for sharing,Kim.
Unfortunately, I have to use packaged figs for this tart….any hints to using these instead of fresh off the tree figs? Do they need to be treated diferently? Do I need to soak them first. I have never used figs in a recipe before, so they are quite foreign to me. Thanks for any wisdom you can provide.
I know if they are dried figs, you need to reconstitute them. You can do it in warm water or better yet apple juice, calvados or get creative. Then slice them. Make sure they are not too wet when you put them on the pastry. I think that should be good. If they are only slightly dried, just reconstitute a short time. Let me know how it works.
not lucky to have fig trees. Harv and I love fresh figs. We buy them at costco when they have them. This receipe sounds soo good must try it. We just eat the figs like we eat any other fruit.
