When I think of figs, I think of my younger years, my mom loved them and had planted a tree as soon as we moved into our new home in Phoenix.
Yuk!
To a teenager they were not oranges, my new fun fruit I could pick off the tree in our yard. They were too sweet, gritty and weird.
It's been a loooong time since that first taste.
I must have done some growing and changing because, wow! I love them now!
My bestest friend has 2 trees in her yard. Huge, old trees that are full of fruit. Isy and I picked a few bags full yesterday and it became a new love!
Simple, easy fruit that you rinse, chop, add sugar, water and lemon juice to make a delicious refrigerator jam that is awesome with bread or cheese and crackers etc.
