				&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/brooks-bilson/221050419/&quot; title=&quot;Photo Sharing&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://static.flickr.com/63/221050419_7288501901_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; alt=&quot;IMG_0240&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

I was shopping at Trader Joe&apos;s the other day when I came across fresh figs.  The season for them is so short, as is the supply in Arizona, that I just had to get some.

What to do with them was easy.  This month&apos;s Bon Appetit had an easy recipe for figs with goat cheese and peppered honey:

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/4 cup honey&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Soft goat cheese&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;12 Fresh figs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

Combine honey and pepper and set aside.  Cut stems from figs and make an &quot;X&quot; in the top (starting stem side up), stopping the knife blade 1/4&quot; from the bottom.  Spread each fig open and place a small ball (apprx 1 tsp) of goat cheese in the center.  Drizzle with peppered honey and serve.
