Figs!!

Got the phone call from my friend about the figs this afternoon. So I drove out to Tonja’s house to pick them up. Stayed and visited awhile with her. We had a lovely chat. Her home is out in the country. It was very peaceful & quiet. We had beautiful view out of the windows. So pleasant sitting there chatting about family & food. We discussed what we were going to do with our figs, cake baking & bread baking.

Figs are a very delicate fruit & can’t be stored long so I have some serious work to do in the next 48 hours. Tonight the only thing I’m going to do with them is wash some and cut them in half. I’ll then lay them out on the dehydrator trays & dry them overnight. I’ve never had more than a couple of fresh figs so I’m really excited about getting to play with them. Fig preserves should be in my future tomorrow.
