The raspberry patch and the fig tree still are going great guns. Smoothies make a gorgeous, high-energy late afternoon snack. If one were going to eat all that fruit it would take a lot more time than quaffing them down!
For one large serving or two smaller ones, put five, washed, ripe, halved figs along with a large handful of rinsed raspberries plus generous pinches of ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in the mixing container that comes with a handheld blender. Cover with milk. Add maple syrup to taste. The amount of sweetener will vary per the sugar content of the fruit. Blend till smooth.
The addition of raspberries always gives a nice blush to smoothies. Autumn was very much in the air while these were sipped on the balcony overlooking the front garden. Therefore the slight heat given by the sweet spices was welcomed.
