Funky-fresh quick-pickled figs drop an instant flavor bomb on anything they land on. Enjoy them on toast, salads, or sandwiches for a bright summertime treat.
Place figs and bay leaves in a heatproof jar. Bring vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour vinegar mixture over figs. Let cool; cover and chill.
