Oh man, those have my mouth watering. Yum! Do you preserve figs in any way- canning, freezing, etc.?

I'm so hungry right now.

Deb --- We haven't had enough to preserve yet, although the yields have been picking up this week. Presumably the fig tree read my post on Monday and decided to take up the slack. Rather than one fig per day, we've been averaging six or eight!!

I did try drying one fig while drying tomatoes about a month ago to see how it did. It was delectable! I'd love to have enough to dry....

Marco --- It was pretty delicious. I hope you find something equally tasty to sate your hunger.

when I had a few extra, I would freeze them. I set them individually in a plastic container with wax paper between layers; so each fig was frozen separately and not all stuck together. They lost a bit of the texture, but they were equally nice slightly defrosted a couple at a time in the winter and eaten with some creamy blue cheese. I also didn't have enough to try to dry or to make fig jam . . . I ate too many raw. But I could always throw the handful 'extra' into the freezer as the season went by and end up with a nice bunch. I probably could have then made jam of the entire container, but I couldn't resist eating them a couple at a time over the winter.

Charity --- That does seem like an easy way to save extras. No extras here yet, though.... I think we'd eat a couple of dozen a day if we had them.
