STUFFED FIGS FROM CALABRIA

A wealth of traditions and culture handed down from generation to generation that has its roots in the times of Ancient Greece. A symbol, together with the vine, of fertility and a joyful life, so much so as to be considered “worthy of nurturing orators and philosophers”.
Figs are rich in sugar, minerals, and vitamins, which is why they have a high energy intake but at the same time are highly digestible. Harvested with their stalk when fully ripe, in the driest hours of the day, they used to be dried in the sun by our grandmothers, then hand-cut and stuffed with nuts, and finally “intertwined” to form the traditional “crosses”. Here we are proposing the variant with a filling of almonds and candied orange.

Ingredients: Bake-dried figs from Cosenza*, shelled almonds*, cane sugar*, candied orange peel* (orange peel*, cane sugar*, glucose-fructose syrup*, water, lemon juice*).
