Smoked trout and fig is one of my favorite pairings in an appetizer (or sandwich as witness my figgy trout sandwich here: http://www.food52.com/recipes/18451_smoked_trout_sandwich_with_figgy_salad). This go around I decided to make a spread instead of stacking everything the way I usually do on individual crackers. I lightened up some cream cheese with sour cream and mayo and swirled in a thick fig jam/pecan mix at the end. A bit of heat from a jalapeno gave it a nice bite. A perfect hors d'oeuvres in my opinion!
