When I was a little girl, my dad and I would go to the local farmer’s market at the beach and buy black mission figs. They were gone by the time we drove back to the beach house. This became one of our summer traditions, and it was always a special treat for me. My dad would tell the stories about when he was a peddler growing up. He actually started selling fruit when he was five years old. He had so many wonderful stories. To this day, I am very careful picking out my fruit and I am always able to pick the ripiest cantalope! But when I see figs, I am reminded of that special time with my dad. There is something extra delicious and decadent about the black mission figs, very sweet and juicy. This pizza was created with the black mission figs in mind. It is the right combination of savory and sweet and it’s packed with nutrients!  Give my Fig and Feta Pizza a try!  I promise it will become a family favorite!
