Name: Figs Wrapped in Smoked Cured Ham
Ingredients: 8 Perfectly ripe black figs; washed, and; ; stems trimmed; 8 sl Portuguese Presunto; smoked cured ham; (Prosciutto can be substituted)

But what about love and loyalty when no one else seems to be hurt, such as premarital sexual relationships? Such an argument does not apprehend biblical love. Love is not simply the absence of obvious injury to anyone. For example, critical thoughts don’t victimize, but they are unloving and wrong. Defining love in terms of whether people get hurt misses the heart of biblical teaching. We may not automatically decide what form love takes. God tells us how to love. When we love on our terms rather than His, we are in sin. Even if our sin does not seem to hurt another human being, it is still sin. If sin were reduced to hurting others, then we could become morally perfect by isolating ourselves from all people. Sin, however, is not primarily a human-against-human action. It is human-against-God. God defines love as obedience to Him.

INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully cut each fig almost in half lengthwise, cutting down to but not
through the skin. Rotate 90 degrees and repeat to divide the fig into 4
sections attached at the base. Squeeze together at the base as you would a
baked potato. Place one slice of Presunto on the counter in front of you.
Place one fig in the center, and draw up edges of ham, fluting all around
into fold. Press well to hold. Repeat with remaining figs and ham. Serve 2
wrapped figs per person. This recipe yields 4 servings.
