Eureka! Tasting Kitchen is a new restaurant at the Hawthorne Airport in So. California. I had the Fresno Fig Burger -- yum, yum, yum! All their meat is grass fed/natural/no antibiotics/hormone free, etc. etc. The burger had goat cheese, fig jam, arugula, bacon....LOVE! My first experience with fig jam and now my mind is reeling smileys/smile.gif

Wow, talk about fusion food, that is amazing.

Fig jam is the bomb, also...I didn't even know Hawthorne had an airport.

It's a small airport for private planes - and they run a flying school

Other uses for fig jam??!

Friends use mine over cheese or as a glaze on lamb, chicken and pork.

And a local cheese shop makes a kick-ass panini with fig jam, duck confit, semi-soft cheese and caramelized onions.

What about topping a wheel of brie and then baking in puff pastry?

I love the contrast of sweet with the brie. It seems like I had an appetizer once that topped Gorgonzola with fig jam and walnuts. Yum!

yum! yeah, they can put that over me anytime smileys/smile.gif

Perfect! Yes, it would be a perfect paring with brie...and walnuts!
