When Anni of The Quail & Olive* asked if I wanted to play with the November member selection of Plum Basil Balsamic Vinegar, I readily agreed. The plums for this product are Santa Rosa plums from Chaparral Gardens in Atascadero and are blended with two kinds of basil for delicious savory notes.

I found some fresh figs and basil at the store and decided to do a quick appetizer featuring the vinegar.

We have also filmed a clip of this recipe. It's available on our Culinary Cam YouTube channel: here. Make this as a single serving with just one or two figs Or create a platter to share.

Ingredients serves 4 to 6 as a small bite

4 to 6 fresh figs, stems sliced off and scored in the middle
3 to 4 Tablespoons crumbed feta
2 teaspoons fresh basil chopped plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons olive oil (I used The Doctor's Blend)
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper
Plum Basil Balsamic Vinegar for serving

Procedure

Place feta, basil, and olive oil in a small bowl. Add in salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon. Stuff into prepared figs. Drizzle with olive oil. Drizzle with vinegar. Serve immediately.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
