We have combined a pungent piney herb and a sweet honey like fruit with love and passion! This goes soooo well with roasted vegetables, like diced sweet potatoes, squash or Brussel sprouts. Think cheeses like warmed Brie or cool green veined Derby Sage for  an appetizer to go with wine. After your meats are cooked, drizzle just a little of this earthy sweet combo! What better way to highlight roasted lamb than pungent rosemary with sweet fig – for a marinade or drizzled in a savory sweet reduction.

Let your inner chef out to play!
