For many, fall is a favorite time of the year to be in the kitchen. It’s the season for soups and stews to warm us during the oncoming chill. It’s also a time for friends and family to gather and bring joy to the shorter, darker days.

This simple recipe highlights the flavors of fresh figs by serving them with tangy goat cheese, salty pistachios, sweet honey and balsamic vinegar, to add an extra burst of flavor. It’s easy to make and can be a quick snack for either one person or for a party of 20.
