I am going to try and send half of them to a son in Atlanta - so thanks for the idea about letting them rest in the freezer a couple of days between layers of waxed paper. Will let you know how they survive the trip! These are in the oven (first baking) as I write.

One thing tho- they broke really easily and didn't keep shape at all. Any suggestions for me? Hi Deb- I love the flavour of these biscotti’s!

These keep great, though, so you could also bake them on Sunday and they'll still be good on Tuesday. If you're worried about freshness, you could even keep them in the freezer between layers of waxed paper for a few days, too. It will probably be fine in the fridge for a couple days.

In fact, I remembered reading it. So, when I came into a few pounds of figs, I knew right where to come. Your recipe inspired me. I had a basic biscotti recipe that has served me well. I just used some help from your recipe and I had another successful biscotti flavor...Fig Walnut. Oh my gosh did my house smell good. People who had never tasted figs before fell in love with my biscotti. Thank you for inspiring me. Nella, the Gravy Girl I know your recipe has been here a while. In fact, I remembered reading it.

For the second batch I made a little experiment using almonds + apricots instead of walnuts + figs. To make the almond-version even a bit more different I left out the spices and only used 1/2 tsp ground vanilla pods. Both versions turned out incredibly delicious. Thanks a lot for this recipe and the sweet smell in my apartment! I just baked two batches of your wonderful biscotti.

I just discovered your blog (finally), and I love it. I am dreaming of fresh figs today, and I'd love to see a post with your favorite fresh fig recipe this summer. Of course, I love to eat them plain, right off the tree, if possible, but just in case I'm able to resist... (even more random: figs are not technically a fruit, but a flower that has folded in on itself...) Thank you!! Totally random. I just discovered your blog (finally), and I love it.

You seem to use them interchangeably. Also what temperature did you use the for the first period of baking (15-20 minutes)? Thanks!
