Fig Reduction Covered Pecan Waffles

I have been harvesting our green figs for sometime now saving them in the fridge for cooking later. Well this morning "Later" arrived. Working late yesterday I decided to turn on the A/C in the shop but eat a interesting breakfast this morning before returning to the truck project.

Beginning with cutting up about 4-5 cups of green figs (ripe) to this I added 1/4 cup Turbinado Sugar and 3 tablespoons of Un-Salted Butter. Allowing this to cook stirring occasionally.

Once reduced like the picture I seasoned the mixture with 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, 2 pinches Ground Nutmeg, a pinch of Sea Salt, even less than a pinch of Ground Cloves.

Once done I fried up some Smoked Sausage for a protein.

Plating up when the hot Pecan Waffles came out of the Iron I buttered a bit then spooned the Fig Reduction over the Waffles, added the Sausage on the side, and topped with Extra Rich Whipped Cream.

My Waffle Maker is off on a Quilting Retreat. She makes them way better than I do. Fortunately the Fig trees keep producing.

There is a Wal Mart somewhere :biggrin

All the fig trees I knew of are gone now. Try for pears in late August.

Is that breakfast or desert?!! FYI I'd have sausage for desert :cool:

upon closer inspection it seems the fig jam ACTUALLY got on the sausage , just pitch it to the dog , its ruined :Rofl

is she in Texas doing that ? my buddy with the killer lakes out west has a lady only huge complex set up just for that , his wife runs it , a bunch of women that visit there and quilt and stay at the place just to quilt together , some come from pretty far away.

Not in TX this trip. One of the biggest Quilt shows is in Houston. The ladies go to that in mass. She off in the opposite direction.

We did Paducah right before I sold our Motorhome and bought the camper. I rented a space out at the Canal Campground, towed her PT Cruiser on the dolly, and she ran back and forth daily for the show. I fished in the Lake hiring a guide that turns out didn't know how to really catch Crappie (I think he was a Small Mouth Guy). Anyway I taught him how to work a jig single-pole adding quite a few to his livewell (he showed up with Crappie in it). I think he got the fish from someone else, he had to jump his boat off just so we could go fishing. My first & last Guide hire.
