Figs - Ideas Wanted

[Shakey Head]

We have a huge fig tree that should produce a bunch of fruit this year.

I’m looking for ideas other than making jam/jelly this year with the figs. I’d love to hear any ideas.

Make jam out of them. Add strawberry or raspberry jello if you want a different jam.

I may try this. Having never done it, can I ask you for your recipe?

When your tree gets full call my grandson, the boy can eat his weight in figs! Grandma showed me how she mixed figs in with other fruit when she cannedthem or made jam/jelly to up the sweetness, she told me that what they did during the depression and WWII because sugar was hard to come by.

Some great ideas already.

Believe it or not... Blue cheese stuffed figs wrapped in bacon and grilled till bacon is crispy. Recipe below is with dates but figs work better in my experience.

This x10000. We use gorgonzola cheese, as I think it tastes even better.

Goat cheese with prosciutto if you don't want to bother with cooking it. mmmhmmm

I've also seen figs in salads, on pizza, and had them poached in brandy. All good.

Sweet dough pie. Best use of figs in my opinion!
