    What is Fig Tart?

    This Fig Tart recipe is a delicious pastry dessert made with mini nut-dates crust, a simple filling and fresh figs and blackberry toppings. Figs are one of the first plants cultivated by humans and they originated in ancient times in the Middle East.

    Figs grow in regions with mild winters and it’s easy for hobby gardeners to nurture them at home. Dried figs are available all the time but fresh figs start to appear at grocery stores in the early summertime into early Fall.
