This fig and pig open faced sandwich is the perfect way to bring flavor to your lunch or dinner. Crusty garlic bread topped with vanilla fig preserves, pulled pork, queso blanco cheese, chipotle salsa, cilantro and green onions.

Another day, another sandwich! I know, two sandwiches in one week, but go with it!

Trust me, this sandwich will totally be your new BFF. It combines homemade vanilla fig preserves, pulled pork, and cheese (always!), then drizzled with chipotle salsa and sprinkled with fresh herbs. So. Much. Yes.

Plus, if you’re into that whole “flavor overload, OMG my mouth is dancing, I’m so happy” thing, you’ll love this sandwich. It’s got that whole sweet and savory thing down to a T!

Did I fail to mention that this beautiful sandwich is from my awesome friend Rebecca of Foodie with Family? It comes from her new baby, Not Your Mama’s Canning Book. If you’re a fan of canning and delicious food, you must buy this book ASAP!

It covers everything from canning simple jellies to preserving delicious button mushrooms. Oh, and then she shows you how to use all those canned goodies—YES!

Now, to make this dish, I actually got together with Gina. She made the vanilla fig preserves, and then I went ahead and made this open-face sandwich. We love teamwork and work well together, so this was a no-brainer. PLUS, I got to eat all her preserves while she paid for all the ingredients. That is a pretty big win in my mind.

Also, completely unrelated I’m sitting in bed today (it’s 12:37am) writing this post. I’ve been in the city for the past couple of days and totally spaced on writing this post. Why am I the worst?! Thank goodness that I remembered because I’m pretty sure if Gina woke up tomorrow and saw my dumb ass didn’t have a post she would drive down to NYC and be all “Seriously Brandy. Seriously?!”

Ok, so what have we learned from today’s post?

1 – buy Not Your Mama’s Canning Book

2 – Rebecca is basically the best.

3 – Make this sandwich – you’ll LOVE it!

4 – don’t procrastinate on your work.

5 – You’re beautiful <– ok we didn’t really learn that from today’s post but it’s true and you should hear it at least once a day, am I right?
