How Do You Eat Them?

[Blondie70]

As little kids in South MS, we had them in a bowl with cream and sugar.

If I ever make a fig video I will chew very quietly with my mouth closed then say nom nom nom

Fresh off the tree, Stuffed and Baked, Jam, and I make a bit of Fig Bread but can't find a picture.



Outlaw Waffles with Raspberry Fig Jam topped with Whipped Cream & Maple Pecans.

Y’all have to designate a (sharing) tree like BT or large honey figs (I think the critters know those are bland as well) for the birds and critters. They’ll be cute again.

Lordy, sugar overload.

I'm interested in trying Hoshigaki-style curing - dip in boiling water to kill bacteria and break down cuticle, hang in low-temp/controlled humidity (vivosun vcure or the like), and gently massaging daily until dried. Sugar should "bloom" on outside...

They cure Persimmons kinda like this, 6 Persimmons can sell for as much as $1200 USD.

This is the very simple process...........there was some YouTube videos on how the High$ ones were done. If I remember right it was quite a experience. Months of massaging, dedicated structures in elevated more mountainous terrain. They packed 6 to a box for shipping and the boxes looked very rich.

Cheese, olives and just for me. Hot peppers on that platter would be delish.

I just thought of this now, I also prefer fresh figs at room temperature.

The wife loves dried figs, more so than fresh figs. I’m the opposite.

For me, I find that flavours aren’t as intense when they’re cold. Not just for figs. I find this with many foods.

I like my figs with friends on the patio, with refreshments! Especially with Signor Massara as he gets very nostalgic! I hope he is still with us when they ripen this season!
