That's what I get for impulse buying it at the supermarket. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-89335581567781917412008-04-19T21:49:00.000+10:002008-04-19T21:49:00.000+10:00I looooove figs, but they're still so expensive th...I looooove figs, but they're still so expensive that I've held off buying them as yet. As for the mascarpone, it looks very suspiciously like it has been frozen and thawed - freezing cream cheese or mascarpone and defrosting it separates the firmer curds from the excess liquid. I definitely would've taken it back :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-3556799477668056522008-04-19T11:48:00.000+10:002008-04-19T11:48:00.000+10:00Pish posh, Duncan, the mascarpone tasted fine. :-...Pish posh, Duncan, the mascarpone tasted fine. :-D I'm not much of a fan of honey, and I've recently bought agave as an alternative. I like its flavour a lot but it's really expensive, so I've held off baking with it so far!<BR/><BR/>Hi ...FWMTS! I just bought them from my local fruit shop on Lygon St. Their season is short though - just yesterday I noticed that punnets of the same size are 50c dearer than the one I bought!<BR/><BR/>Johanna, I've not been much of a fig eater before either. When I saw them this time I decided I'd just go with minimal prep so I could really taste the fruit. :-)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-71814884978486991212008-04-18T23:50:00.000+10:002008-04-18T23:50:00.000+10:00your figs look incredibly good to eat and pleasing...your figs look incredibly good to eat and pleasing to the eye!

In general, it's a bit stiff what producers give us, masquerading as mascarpone (take a peek at the ingredients).<BR/><BR/>I'm interested to know why you used agave syrup:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
