Eating Figs in Season
In California, fig season begins mid-May and goes until mid-December, which means you can enjoy this sweet treat all summer long into the start of winter. Meanwhile, in New York, figs appear in late June and last through the early part of fall. If youโre not really a big fan of figs, you can try substituting some other fruits that are in season like pitted dates or applesโwhatever suits your fancy.
Take the Wheel with Taste, Texture and Cannabis Dosage
Youโre in complete control when it comes to this sweet-and-savory, cannabis-spiked recipe. By all means, add more figs if youโd like to make this dish more fruit-forward. Pick up your preferred brand of marijuana-infused honey. Multiply the suggested dosage for cannabis honey by the number of people whoโll enjoy the dessert. Go for a lower dose of cannabis, if youโre interested in having a nice, mellow buzz. You can also cut the recipe (and dosage) if this is just for you.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of ricotta cheese
- Sliced figs (or another fruit of your choice, sliced or chopped)

How To
- Place 1 cup of ricotta cheese in a medium-sized bowl.
