Figs with yogurt

Here is a link to my other blog about figs.




We sliced and diced and cooked the figs with a little sugar.  Then we ate them over vanilla yogurt.  It was a very sophisticated yogurt experience.  We also tried them raw on Wednesday.  Several children loved the inside of the fig, but not the skin.
