Fig Pecan Fondue

Rarely do I pull out any of the inexplicable number of fondue pots we got for wedding gifts. They just sit up on the ledge above my kitchen cabinets and collect dust.

I love them so much that I always think I’m going to save them for a special occasion, and they end up collecting dust until the next jar arrives. It’s ridiculous.
