Figgy ?

What is that thing? That's the question we always get. That's the question we were asking when we first saw this place. Turns out, it is a fig tree.


We didn't really think that much of it until about 2 weeks ago. Suddenly the huge bush thing was covered with figs. And they are GOOD. The kids absolutely love them! Even my James (who is suspect of any new food!)



Aprox 3 lbs of figs

We have loads of figs! Too many infact. Most of these beauties end up going to the pigs/goats. But, I noticed they sell figs at the grocery store for $5.00 a pound! Someone, somewhere is purposefully buying these to turn them into... ?

What I am in need of now is recipes. Anyone have any good fig recipes?
