Remember that roasted fig and strawberry jam I made? Well, I saved some for a rainy day and found this recipe for homemade fig newtons. It’s raining, pouring actually, so I took to the kitchen to try out the recipe. It needs a bit more flour, but the flavour and texture is very similar to the real McCoy. The strawberries were few in comparison to the figs, but the hint of red-cheeked berries is there in the background. Next time I will add more strawberry, maybe half and half!
Viva la fig!

Will you be posting a recipe?
There is a link to the original in the post. Since I made a couple small changes I probably should post my version!
Oh I love fresh figs and have never made fig newtons, aren’t they gorgeous! c
Oooooh, I’ve been meaning to make these for so long!! Good reminder:)
Can’t find fresh figs up here, so sadly I’ll have to use one of those Dalmatia fig spread jars. It’ll still be good!
