When a friend gives you figs.....
...make fig preserves. A wonderful friend shared some of these huge figs from her tree with me! I adore fig preserves. So, of course, I made some. That is my son's hand. My arms aren't that hairy!!
Simply cook with equal parts sugar until it begins to thicken.
Add lemon slices.
Yummy.
Y'all come back,

i bet that could be some good stuff!
ReplyDeleteGrandma made the best fig preserves! I love your photos. Hope you'll visit my blog; I've missed hearing from you!
ReplyDeleteYour figs are HUGE!! Never seen them this large.
ReplyDeleteThose are huge! so jealous!
ReplyDeleteYum! I used to love and eat them raw at Granny's house. Fig preserves and pear preserves.....so a part of my childhood.
ReplyDeleteOh yum! I don't believe I have ever had fig preserves, but I do love figs, so I'm sure the preserves must be wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteI love figs, but I have never had fig jam. It sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful-looking figs! They are making my mouth water! Thanks for giving us the "recipe" too!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm about a week behind in my posting...I'm with you about that mailbox in the wall. I think it would be great if it opened from the inside as well!
I love figs too. But the ones I remember from our fig tree were large and purple. That jam looks sooo good.
