Figs are a festive and fancy holiday food. Grocery stores sometimes carry fresh figs during the holiday season. If they're not available in your market, figs can be ordered online from fine food sellers like Amazon and iGourmet.
The fruit of the fig tree (botanical name Ficus carica,) is a staple food in its native home of southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region. Fig trees are also found in the warmer regions of the US including California. While dried figs have a distinctly different appearance from fresh figs, either can be used in this recipe.
