Fresh Figs

Cooking fig compote. This is great on ice-cream or just eaten on its own.

Figs are good in a fruit salad with yogurt.
you can also add them in your veg. salad.
The season for figs is short, once they are ripe, they don't keep well, maybe 2-3 days in the fridge.
you have to either freeze, cook or eat them, or they rot.
Figs are very expensive, so if you have a tree, enjoy the figs before the birds eat them up.!!

I Love Figs!!!

Its fig time again, March till end of April, time to pick figs off my trees.
Autum is here, starting to get cold.
The figs are ripening very slow, no more hot summer days, just cold mornings and nights.


I've been picking heaps of figs,
some as big as a sauce plate.

Rich, sweet and succulent figs
makes delicious chunky fig jam.

There's still figs on the trees, but the birds are ever ready to eat them before they are ripe!!

To get nice big figs , I have to wrap them, or it'll be the birds' breakfast!
