I wish I know how to jar jams. I love fig preserves.

Those crunhy seeds are soooooooo good!

I buy a teeny jar at Whole Foods and it's so expensive.

Thanks for posting this - I am the proud parent of two very prolific

fig trees and you can only eat so many of them (my dogs are quite fond

of them too!).
