BIG FIG HARVEST (September through October)

[Cassie K]

In the photos are the Chicago hardy fig variety, which produces purple skinned fruits with a red jam-like texture inside. The taste is similar to Apricots, Plums, and Peaches. They will grow from little, green nubs then be triple their size overnight.
Refer to my previous posts of fig harvests so far this year, here: Late September garden harvest (& Harvesting more figs) , Pepper harvest in the Fall (+ FIGS) , and Harvesting FIGS in cold climate.
Below are photos of the figs we have harvested in the last couple of days.

I love figs and wish that I had the space to grow them here. My granny used to, she would make fig jam out of them and it was so delicious. Do you ever make jam or preserves with them?

This was the first time receiving a harvest off of the fig trees. I would love to make a fig jam in the future, or even dehydrate them. With the small quantity I harvested this year, I ate them raw, straight off the tree.
