Sometimes all you want is a bite… oh, and a glass of wine. Make it two.

It’s the midst of summer and figs are IT. From your local farmer’s market to your nearest Whole Foods, the flower is in peak season. Wait a second… flower!? Yep, I said it! Despite their true classification, society recognizes figs as fruit. However, the fig is actually a flower that inverts into itself, and its inherent fruitiness is in the seeds. Paired with thyme and honey, the sweet treat delivers a delicate, floral-meets-woodsy flavor.
