Fig Ice Cream

Figs are among the oldest fruits.  Figs are  wonderful straight off the tree And what’s really nice you can also eat the peel. Many Cajun love making fig preserves – Great with bread, corn bread, or over cream cheese as an appetizer. Another sweet use is fig ice cream – so good. Works best with very ripe figs. This recipe is an adaptation from Cooks Tour of the Mississippi recipe
