Prep Time
12 minutes
Prep Notes
I'm always looking for produce in season. When I saw a whole crate of figs at the store, I bought them up without knowing how I would use them. Find out how I decide on new recipes and then follow me as I make this delicious relish to top goat cheese and crackers!
This recipe tastes great if made ahead. Store in the refrigerator and pull out for a quick snack or appetizer for company.

Cooking Time
5 minutes
Yields
4-8 servings
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 large red onion, diced small
1/4 jalepeño, use more or less depending on the desired level of heat!
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cups fresh Mission figs, chopped, about 12 figs
1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
3-4 tsp fresh mint, finely chopped
2 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Seed crackers (like Mary's Gone Crackers)
4 oz. goat cheese, room temperature
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and jalepeño and saute until the onion is just translucent.
- Add vinegar and stir. Add figs, salt, and pepper. Put a lid on the pot and let simmer on medium-low heat until figs begin to break down about 5 minutes.
- Add mint and rosemary. Stir in and let simmer 2 minutes more. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove from heat and let the mixture sit.
- Meanwhile, cover crackers with 1/2 tsp of goat cheese. Add a dollop of Balsamic Fig Relish. Top with chopped mint for garnish. OR Use relish on top of grilled chicken.
Notes
This relish tastes better if allowed to sit 1 or 2 days. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use!
