1. Get down on your knees and say "thankyou"

2. Eat them warm from the tree

3. Cut them in half, sift caster suger over the cut halfs, grill them (broil
for you US types) and service with say a champagne sabayon (OOP)

4. Cut in quarters, wrap in procuitto and serve or grill first

5. The Original Mediterranean Cuisine has a recipie for preserving them with
rose petals, layering flattened figs, rose petals and sugar in a jar, then
storing 15-20 days. Santich suggests adding a bit of rosewater to help our
modern roses along. Haven't tried it - sounds interesting though!

6. Make them into jam

7. Dry them

A start anyway...
