Sweet recipe for something called roasted fig agrodolce : figs, fennel, shallots and garlic are slowly roasted before being combined and lightly smashed with currants and raisins that have been plumped with red wine vinegar. What results is a sweet-and-sour condiment with a bit of heat.

Sweet plus sour plus heat sounds like something on Chopped. 

Are figs fruits?

Yes, it does, now that you mention it!

Figs are fruit.

I definitely need more figs in my life. I always enjoy them when I eat them.
