Okay.. I have several fig bushes in my backyard and in the past, my beagle helped herself along with bees, wasps, mice, birds and so forth which was fine with me. This year.. I am expanding on my farmgirl-ness! Any suggestions what to do with them? I am thinking along the lines of creating them for Christmas gifts... like I am doing with my abundance of yummy Violet Jelly.
Oh and simpler the better! hahaha!
also the gifts will be shipped from Georgia to Washington
:o)

I've pickled them a couple of times. I know it sounds weird, but if you like sweet pickles, they pickle up good!

4 figs per person depending on size
cut figs in half lengthwise
dot with goat cheese about 1/4 teaspoon or more as needed
very thin sliced proscuitto, cut slices in thirds
wrap a piece of proscuitto around each fig and cheese
grill or bake until cheese melts
delicious

You can send me some!!! I want some so bad. I want to make some strawberry fig preserves. And someone has a great recipe for a fig spread for soft cheese that looks so good. I couldn't find fresh figs so just bought a spread. But fresh would be SO much better. I was wondering when they would be coming in. I bought a little tiny plant a few months ago and it's already about a foot tall. But will be a few years before it produces.

fig jam, dryed, fresh from the tree, blanch/skin and freeze for pie, and as Alee said, cookies...

mmmm! Send them to me! Just kidding. I would make lots of preserves and maybe try making some homemade fig newtons?
