FIG, CARAMELIZED ONION & GORGONZOLA CROSTINI
A friend gave me this recipe about 10 years ago. I tweaked it a little. It's always a hit when I make it for special occasions and parties. I always double and sometimes triple the recipe depending on how many guests. Also, I make the fig jam ahead of time and sometimes caramelize the onions the day before. That's a real time...

Steps:
- 1. To make jam, remove stems from figs and put in food processor along with the lemon juice and coarsely chop. Put the fig mixture, 2 cups of water, syrup and salt in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes or until thick. This can be done ahead of time or the day before. Cool completely.
- 2. Heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Add onions, vinegar, thyme and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove cover and cook 25 minutes more or until onions are golden brown stirring occasionally. While onions cook, add 1/2 cup of water a little at a time as needed to keep onions from sticking to the pan.
- 3. Spread 1 teaspoon of Gorgonzola over each slice of toasted bread. Top each with 1 teaspoon of caramelized onions and 1 teaspoon of fig jam.
- 4. Sprinkle each with the chopped parsley. Can be placed in a warm oven till ready to serve.
FIG JAM AND GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI
Flavors of fall 'sage and figs' pair up with tangy goat cheese for an elegant appetizer that's a perfect pairing for a glass of bubbly. The toasts can be made up to a day ahead and stored at room temperature in an airtight container. The sage can also be prepared a day ahead, loosely wrapped in a paper towel, and stored in an airtight container. Fig jam can be purchased at high-end grocery stores. Quince jam, a.k.a. membrillo, would also be delicious here. Taken from CHOW.com

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400°F
- Cut the baguette on the bias into about 20 (1/2-inch-thick) slices and place on a baking sheet.
- Using 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, lightly brush each slice. Sprinkle with salt and bake until lightly toasted and crisp, about 8 minutes; let cool.
- Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a small frying pan over medium-low heat. When the oil shimmers, gently place 2 to 3 sage leaves at a time into the hot oil until they darken in color and any bubbling subsides.
- Immediately remove the leaves with tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper-towel-lined plate.
- Repeat with remaining sage leaves; set aside.
- Gently spread 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese on each crostini, top with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of the fig jam, and garnish with a fried sage leaf.
