![]() ![]() So get to makin’ this jam – even if you don’t really like figs – because you’re going to love what’s coming! In addition to sweet preparations, it’s also delicious in sweet and savory combinations, and it makes a tasty addition to a meat and cheese platter. Each one raved about it, so I feel pretty confident about putting this recipe on here, even though figs aren’t really my kind of thing. I made it last year and gave it away as gifts to a few people who I knew loved figs. SO! If you are of the fig-loving variety, I wholly recommend you make this. ![]() Someday you’ll end up wanting to do the whole shebang, but this here recipe is good enough to get you started.

So I give them away (I’m considering selling them, due to the fact that I saw them at the farmers market this weekend for four dollars a pound!), feed a few to the dog, and then give up when the tree is about to fall over with the weight of its ripe fruit and make jam. Let’s not even talk about their shape and what they resemble… I’ll just eat other fruits, thanks.īut when you have a giant fig tree in your backyard that produces infinitely throughout the summer, well, you gotta find something to do with them. ![]() I’m not big on the flavor, and the seeds just weird me out.
