Lovely post. A fig is a very generous tree...it gives and gives. Thank you for posting. They make delicious jams. Have you tried drying them,? It seems it would be a sticky business. Cheers.

Thanks @bleujay for your coment!
We had some dried ones and now we made some jam too but it seems the tree it still making new ones and this is awesome! This year was a good year!
Thank you @cynetyc for your reply. If you do not mind my asking, how did you go about drying them?
So glad to hear the fig tree has had quite a few figs with more to come. Cheers.
Thank you for your support.
For a quick way I use a drier and for that you need to do the following:
Ok so gather some nice figs.
Wash them with care then prick them with a stick (toothpick) in several places and placed side by side on barbecue grill drying (drier)
machine.
Place each grill so that they do not touch each other, push each fig in part to we have flattened sits nicely on the first grill and put next barbecue over and continue the operation to fill all grids device.
Start the dryer and leave two days and two nights or until dry but fruit ditch gummy, soft.
Remove, let it cool and store in cardboard between paper towels. In plastic or metal box is not kept well because there is ventilation through the container walls. Cardboard leaves the possibility of a mild ventilation and that way we can keep them months and months.
Another way is just by leaving them on a table and covering them in a simple cloth and then just leave them in the sun.... but this method works summer time and ...to be onest takes more time and olso you need to pay more attention if the figs inside the cloth are ok, because the fluctuations of the temperature can cause to appear fungus!
Thank you @cynetyc. How very kind of you to give such clear instructions. It sounds complicated, nevertheless it is on the 'Must Try' list. I wish you well.
