Wish I had your problem of surplus figs :) Never had a the indulgence of a glut of figs although have fond childhood memories of eating them straight off a neighbour's tree in their Mangere garden competing with the wasps and bees. There are loads of websites with fig recipes http://recipes.epicurean.com/recipe_results.jsp?title=Fig

the last two links for pickled and preserved figs look particularly tasty.
Feijoa and date chutney is a favourite of mine, I'm sure that it would be equally delicious substituting dried figs for dates. Let me know if you want the recipe.
