I am not fickle over fickles; I absolutely love my new-found treat: a pickled fig. The fig season is just ending, but run to make these delectables. Why? Fickles are delicious on a roasted beet-poached egg salad or as a condiment with lamb, pork, or chicken or with any gooey cheese. I’m sure they would be fabulous in a martini!
Fickles
- 2 cups fresh figs, stems cut off
- 1 cup water
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cups sherry vinegar
- Spices if desired (whole cloves, allspice, cinnamon, mustard, ginger, cardamom, etc)
Bring the water to a boil and pour over the figs. Let sit until cool. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar and bring to a boil. Pour in the figs and water. Simmer for 30 minutes. Serve with meats, salad, cheese –Â you name it.

The perfect vehicle for fickles is a manhattan cocktail! The rye whiskey is essential — much tastier than bourbon.
I’m Not Fickle About Manhattan
3 tablespoons rye whiskey
1 tablespoon sweet vermouth
1 tablespoon cherry juice
1 fickle speared on a cocktail pick
Pour the whiskey, vermouth, and cherry juice over ice in a cocktail shaker and shake well. Strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with the fickle.
