Look
for figs to establish more of a presence in the supermarket,
but not just in the produce area next to the dates and pomegranates,
or in the cookie section, a la Fig Newtons. Take a look on gourmet
shelves, and figs are reaching out to us as never before in
the form of jams, tapenades, marinades, and sauces. A good source
of calcium and iron, figs were the symbol of peace and prosperity
in ancient times, and make for a soothing, comfort food in these
times. One company in San Francisco is even selling fig balsamic
vinegar, available through your gourmet grocer or call 1-888-693-5800
for more information.
Want
to bring that B&B feeling to your morning table in the form
of muffins, but don't want to do all the work? The Pantry Shelf,
a small Kansas-based bakery, supplies B&Bs with premium muffin
mixes, including fat-free and low-fat versions and now makes
them available to the public. They come in a variety of flavors,
including Poppy Seed, Blueberries 'N Cream, Gingerbread, and
Red Raspberry. Call 1-800-9-Muffin for more information.
