Guess what's growing and ripening outside
the window......
Yes, they're really coming in hot and heavy now and
thanks to DH, who braves the beastly mosquitoes,
there's already a full bowl on the kitchen counter.
Will I be making jam and figgy desserts soon?
You bet I will.
I too have been blessed by a good crop of figs. Made my first fig jam this year - and LOVE it! summer blessings x
ReplyDeleteOh yummmmmmmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what you make with those special figs.
Today I will be making pickled beets from the garden.
It is that kind of summer day where we take the bounty and think of winter treats.
I keep hoping one day my fig tree will have enough to make fig chutney for winter time delectable.
Mmmmmm I love figs. Figs and thick cream. Dried figs in a salad - however I get them, I love them.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and I know you will enjoy them! Most of my figs are now gone, eaten by bees, squirrels and the like. I gobbled up about six of them when they first began to get ripe and before all the bugs arrived. No fig jam for us this year. I suppose I could still rescue a few of them but this year I'm letting them go to the birds and the bees. Returning from up north for a family wedding, I came home battling a little illness and have no energy to get out there to look for figs. But there is always next year, God willing . . .
ReplyDeleteI have always loved those big fig leaves!
