Fig Projects

In a desperate race against time—figs ripen fast and do not stay good for very long—Mom and I spent yesterday making a batch of fig jam and a delicious fig cake. Both were highly successful—I can’t stop eating the cake. By the end of the day I felt like I was on a kind of fig high. Next project: fig cookies. And we’ll still leave a treeful behind when we leave for New Hampshire this weekend.
