Figs for Fruit Salad

I had an unexpected discovery a few days ago when I added a pint of figs (sliced into halves) into a fruit salad that was a combination of pears and peaches. After a few hours in the fridge, the flavor of the figs had permeated the other fruits, giving them a rich, alcohol-like flavor that was to my palate and mind, intoxicating. I'd never come across something like it and it's exquisite. Highly recommended.
