Notes

Replacements for Ginger fig jam can be bacon jam or apple butter, try to think fall flavors!
A drizzle of balsamic glaze on top of the pizza adds a sweet tangy pop. 
If you prefer a crispy onion, instead of adding to pizza toppings, continue to crisp remaining onions and add to the pizza after it is cooked.
