One of my all time favorite tastes of the south are figs! Just Wait until taste the all-natural in a non-traditonal and unique pasta dish!

Southern City Flavors are of course the perfect match with traditional Southern recipes but will enhance any of you global dishes such as the Spanish-inspired Pasta Chicken dish (recipe below) that was amazing with the Fig Jam!

Fig Jam: This jam is loaded with figs and would be delicious over warm pumpkin bread, served with a blue cheese and fig crostini with balsamic fig glaze or in my Spanish-Inspired Pasta with Figs.

Bourbon Bacon Grilling Sauce : Brush over steaks or burgers and a great touch for smoked or grilled chicken wings

 Sweet Potato Butter : Warm buttery biscuits can be slathered with sweet tangy butter and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg for breakfast or dinner.

Cranberry Chipotle Sauce : Tart sweet cranberries with a hint of heat from Chipotle can be brushed over roasted cornish hens with seasoned with thyme and sage or a traditional roasted turkey breast for a delightful holiday dinner.

Spicy Pineapple Rum Sauce Tangy, sweet heat with with tropical flavors from pineapple and rum would be great for a ham or pork roast glaze.

Stone Ground Grits: As you know, grits are just perfect for a holiday breakfast or brunch or stir in your favorite cheese (such as my favorite local goat cheese) for a real treat and top with spicy seasoned shrimp for a delicious Shrimp and Grits real southern treat!

Roasting the chicken thighs gives a richer roasted flavor from the chicken as well as an added depth of flavors and texture from the crispy, caramelized skin. This is a pasta dish that will remind you of Spain. It is rich,warm and satisfying with complex flavors thanks to a sauce made from roasted chicken broth that’s reduced until silky and luscious. Finishing touches of dried figs and marcona almonds add sweetness and crunch.
