This recipe is a black tie version of a childhood summer treat we enjoyed while visiting family each summer on Edisto Island, South Carolina. There was something special about sun-ripened figs sweetened by the salty ocean breeze. Aunt Gee, as she is affectionately known, would individually peel figs for us to snack on after a long day at the water. Thirty years of annual beach trips and never tried the restaurants? If you had the choice between Aunt Gee’s menu and anything else, I guarantee you would make the same decision.
