Our garden is finally starting to put out it's produceRight now we are bringing in a few green beans and cucumbers. And plenty of hot peppers. They are loving this weather. So I've made some pickles etc.
But here is the big one for me. Our friends fig tree did good this year and he brings most of them to us. His wife won't touch them and he can only eat so many. We make jams and things and give him some of that and I usually give him some of the others I make so he has a variety. We also have him some plants and cuttings he wanted. It's nice to have garden friends!!! Anyway he brought us 5 of these bins and I think that the tree is done. They are really tasty figs!!! I processed some already and had to freeze some because there is so much. Already 30 cups chopped figsfrom the first 3 bins and then he brought us those last 2. Made 2 different things with them today, plus made candied ginger so I could make Peach and ginger Jam. I'm going to have to ban my kids from the kitchen!! I asked my youngest if she wanted to taste the Apple Kissed Fig Jam. Next time I turned around she had finished it!!!! Only half a small jar (1/2 cup) that I didn't can, but still!!! Haha! She said, "Well, it's good!"
We went out tonight for our anniversery figs were on the menu. We had flatbread thay was more like a craker. It had a mild herbed goat cheese spread on it. Then it was topped with ham which was like porchutto very thin. The figs were sliced in half on top it was drizzled lightly with a fig sauce. It was so good I will take some of my figs an make a verision of it. My neighbor made syrup and made ice cream. Hope I have gave you ideas. Pam
Congrats!!
