I am less than 2 years in this region of Israel where figs grow, so so far I have not done anything with them. People do make jam from them. After picking, they cannot be stored for many days. <BR/><BR/>NAOMI--A$2?? Oi! Wish I could mail you a box of figs but that would start the alarm bells ringing at Australia customs. <BR/><BR/>Chrisss--Yes. And I esp. love singing the part of our liturgy about <BR/>"And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon." I Kings 4:25<BR/><BR/>Quintarantino--Thanks for alerting me to your thorough research on the fig. Everyone here should see your post at <BR/>http://notasecretblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/three-little-figs.html<BR/><BR/>Abe--Do your supermarkets at least have Fig Newtons? <BR/><BR/>Reader Wil--Hi! I somehow imagine you can get just about any food in The Netherlands.<BR/><BR/>Dan--Uhhh, dunno. I will pay attention this year and let you know. <BR/><BR/>Babooshka--Yes, and mostly our fig trees are wild, just growing out in the open. <BR/><BR/>All--You are all welcome to come pick free figs growing in the wild.<BR/>It is quite sad that many of the local moshavniks/villagers let much of the various kinds of fruit, even that growing in their own yard, rot on the tree, or under the tree. I think the birds, bats, and insects eat more of the figs here than people do.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-62232302549689851542008-04-11T14:40:00.000+03:002008-04-11T14:40:00.000+03:00Nice to figs growing naturally.
