I'm planning to make a mead with figs, and hope to do it in September. I got the figs from a volunteer tree next to the sidewalk that I discovered when out walking. I've heard volunteer fruit trees usually don't produce good fruit, but this one is great. I have frozen a few pounds of figs (last year) but I haven't used them yet.

I stand and pick and eat. Don't eat much jam, so not sure what to do with excess.Have never tried them in savory dishes. May have to try that. Have you ever tried to freeze them?? I need to do some research on preserving extra figs. We have a fig tree and I love them!! I stand and pick and eat. Don't eat much jam, so not sure what to do with excess.

How many fig trees do you have? I have 3 small ones and only 1 is producing. It only has 8 figs but they are huge. I put rabbit dropings on the one as an experiment. I guess it worked. I can not wait till next year when I hope they will all produce figs. And be bigger trees. Wow fig yum! How many fig trees do you have? I have 3 small ones and only 1 is producing.

Cool! btw, how do you keep the June Beetles from attacking your figs? My Mom is constantly battling them. Wow I never knew figs can be used for savory dishes!

Especially the figs! I love figs but for years I forgot about that yummy treat from my childhood. We use to have a fig tree in our yard and my granny would make the best fig preserves. When I was pregnant with my last child; he is almost three; I developed a craving for some of my granny's fig preserves. I found some locally, and have been buying preserves from the farmers market ever since. My mom is coming for a visit next week and bringing me 5 gallons of figs, so I will be trying my hand at preserving my own. I just wish I had my granny's recipe, but she passed away three years ago at the age of 98. It all sounds and looks yummy! Especially the figs!
