Figs are coming in


Figs fresh from our tree. These boys are looking for a hot date with a biscuit.
The fig tree this year has more figs than last year maybe it’s because we have had more rain but whatever the reason they will sure be welcomed when the weather is cold. We will be putting some up and looking for new recopies so if any one has a favorite please let me know.

  2. I'll be checking in for recipes. I like the fig preserves I've found at the store, but I'd love to know how to make some good fig-ness at home.

  3. I just tried these one from Picky Palate:

    Fig, Brie and Basil Pizza

    Lightly toasted whole wheat English Muffins, split
    Thin slices of brie cheese
    Tablespoons of Fig Preserves
    Fresh basil leaves, chopped or left whole


    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place toasted muffins onto a baking sheet. Top evenly with brie cheese. Spoon a heaping Tablespoon of Fig preserves onto each pizza. Bake for 6-9 minutes, or until cheese is melted and crust is crisp. Top with basil.

    Fig, Brie and Turkey Club Sandwiches

    Whole Wheat bread, lightly toasted
    Light mayonnaise
    Thinly sliced turkey breast
    Thin slices of brie cheese
    Fresh baby arugula leaves
    Precooked bacon strips, crisped
    Fig preserves

    Cut crust off of toast. Lightly spread mayonnaise onto inside of bread. Layer with turkey, brie, bacon strips, arugula, another piece of toast, more arugula, turkey and then a small spoonful of fig preserves. Top with another piece of toast. Cut sandwiches into 4 pieces, diagonal cuts to make little triangles. Serve and Enjoy!
