Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I have a couple of fig trees and froze a lot last year. This year they are a little late so they are still unripe. I used quart or gallon freezer zip lock bags, split the figs in half and placed them on the bag in one layer, so they could still be separated when frozen. Having said that, this year I plan to dry a lot more than freezing, I ended up using the dried figs a lot more. Donna's fig bread in the files is wonderful and I make it pretty often. , " Mom " <twoslim wrote: > > I'll try this! > > Question..I have two ripe containers of fresh figs right now, how do you > freeze them? > > > > Jane > > > > _____ > > > On Behalf Of moonspritetopaz > Tuesday, July 28, 2009 10:10 PM > > Fig and Pistachio Couscous Review > > > > > > YUM!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I froze mine whole; cutting them in half makes more sense - quicker to defrost, right? It's hard to explain to my husband why freezing is so much easier than drying. However, we are limited to freezer space.We do plan to give our families dried figs as Christmas gifts. I'll have to look up that fig bread recipe! Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
