Figs

Lisa, I have secured you a hook-up in Defunn for fig preserves if you need. She has 6 pint jars at probably under 10 each. Let me know if you need them.

On Pizza.... Base of Ricotta, Prosciutto, Figs, Goat Cheese, Carmelized Onions

Makes a hog happy....

Wrap in thin sliced proscuitto and grill; also

I got'em. What's your fave way of eating them. Probably at least 20 pounds in this and had to leave a lot on the tree before the storm hits.

stuff with a little goat cheese prior to wrapping with the ham. Grill until ham is crispy and edges sizzled. Delicious.

If they are still in the fridge at work tomorrow, they'll be up for grabs if someone wants to make the trek to DeFunn and pick them up.

Who knew figs were so versatile and popular? I remember my grandmother had a tree and us kids used to chunk 'em at each other.

Cut in half, put on plate cut side up, salt and either: blue cheese, goat cheese or balsamic. It's simple but let the fig speak for itself. They are incredible while the last!

Yep. Fab with blue cheese and maybe a touch of honey. Will try the salt too. Yum.

It all sounds delicious!

Still have a source for preserves or jam??

I should, but I won't be able to get my hands on them until Monday. But other than that shouldn't be a problem. Still want six pints?

Yes, six. Monday is fine. I will touch base with you then. Thanks!!

Alicia,

Am a seasonal visitor who loves FIGS! I usually scope out the neighbors trees near my parents place in Grayton and either beg or steal (not really able to borrow)

I'll be in town starting next Sunday the 24th. Are you selling your figs? I'd love to buy some!

Hi Chi,

My tree seems to have produced early this year. I saw a few on it yesterday as I was coming inside. If it is still producing, you would be welcome to some for free. I'm going to try to pick some more this week. Mondays and Tuesdays are killers for me at work, so maybe I can get some Wed., and let you know how they look. I'm afraid if I had been more diligent in keep it picked clean, it would still be producing a lot, but the tree is so big, it was hard to get to them all. I'll post back if I think it will make enough to bring you some. I would at least meet you half way for you to pick them up Nice to meet you by the way.

I tried the prosciutto suggestion - and it was so good the plate didn't leave the kitchen!
