Ripe fresh purple figs with rosy centers and luscious fresh green figs
  can make perfect cocktail fare.  Allow 1 fig, quartered, for each guest.
  For each fig, cut 2 thin slices of prosciutto lengthwise into halves. Wrap
  a half slice around each fig quarter so that it looks like a rose. To
  serve, sprinkle with fresh lime juice and freshly ground black pepper.
  Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
        Another favorite:  Slice each fig lengthwise into halves, 1 fig per
  person.  Into each half, spoon 1 teaspoon of Pecan Cream Cheese (see
  below).  Sprinkle with finely chopped pecans. PECAN CREAM CHEESE 1/2 cup
