      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
