I knew someone here loved figs.Is your family from Mediterranean heritage?Figs are eaten alot in Mediterranean and mid East countries.I just made my first 5 pints of fig preserves.The coloring is a rose looking color.The fig meat on this tree is pink.Mine at my house are white meat.

Im with you there.Figs are extremely fattening and very high sugar content.I have a few a season and thats about it.Figs are very versatile. In spain they make a liquor made from figs.Turkey is famous for the dried figs.All my life my family had Fig trees,Italian prunes and grapes.I have all three.

I have two trees.One is a black fig that ripens right before the coolness of October.The other a Green fig is done allready.I made fig jam but it hasnt firmed up yet.It could take a few weeks or more to set.Washington fruit is tough to jam.It seems like everything is juicier then other climate fruit ie..Ca or Tx.

Here is a big :thumleft: for figs. I learned that I really liked them when I moved out to New York City where they were available in every market. I don't think I've had one since I moved back to WA....that was 7 years ago. I didn't know one could grow them here.
I'm with ya RaMcVey, I could eat a mess of newtons...:king:
