This simple appetizer is an amazing way to showcase some delicious figs. I'd been wanting to wrap figs in prosciutto for a while now, but accidentally got slices of pancetta instead. I think in my mind I'd filed them as being the same thing. I did a little research and it seems like pancetta is thicker and less pliable, and cured with more spices than prosciutto. You can use either one here--prosciutto would probably be easier to wrap around the figs, and you might not even need the toothpicks.
