For me drying figs has become a necessity since my trees produce so
much so quickly and since fresh figs spoil so quickly. But I prefer
fresh when I have them. The flavors are much different. Fresh are
rather floral and delicate. Dried are earthier and more intense.

This also has to do with the fig varieties I have, I'm sure.
