[...] wanted to put them to good use. That’s when I remembered a post on my friend’s blog (http://www.macheesmo.com/2009/08/fresh-fig-tart/). Being a little sleepy, I decided to stick basically to his recipe with a few tweaks. [...]

This looks really yummy..I have two fig trees, one green and one mission black, so I will definitely be trying your recipe tomorrow…For the poster who asked about the colors of figs, they come in several varieties, black, brown, purple and green. I personally prefer the darker colors, because the insides are beatiful rich colors, and I find the green ones usually have a thicker skin. I also think of the difference between pie and tart to be the topping. Pie is either topped with merrienge, whipped cream or crust, whereas tarts are usually topped with a glaze, or crumbly tops so you see the beauty of the fruits inside. I often use do tarts without a pan at all (called a country tart) and just bake them in a jelly roll pan so they don't make a mess out of the bottom of my oven, but in those instances you do not prebake the crust.

Thank you for the delicious recipe! I made this tart for my friends with fresh figs from my back yard.

They were pleased.

That's so funny…I posted about figs today, too! I love fig season.

I made a fig, brie, and spinach sandwich…it was delicious!

@Nick, a very nice looking tart. Around here, blackberries are just coming into season, so I would be throwing them on top as well. This looks so nice that I am thinking I will put it on my banquet menu for weddings. For that, I like to put a neutral glaze on the top to preserve the freshness of the berries/figs. I like apricot jam.

Thank you for a eye poppin, mouth watering gallery of photos. I wish I could take them like that.

Hello Nick,

Just found this site – which you probably already knew about. They have an article about the difference between pies and tarts, and also mention a couple of historic cook books. It was a question (pie vs tart)I was throwing around in the back of my mind, but never really dug into…

That looks so good! We have figs in the garden at work (I am doing my Ph.D. at a botanical institute) and that is the perfect idea for them!
