SeramaSilly Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 We bought a brown turkey fig tree about three years ago and this year the fruits have actually ripened! We've been really looking forward to them as we both love dried figs but I'm afraid we both think they are absolutely disgusting fresh and cooked and even the smell puts me off! Does anyone know how to dry figs? Sophie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'd suggest just washing them and baking them on a low heat on a baking tray. I love figs, and make a type of crostini with figs, ham and cheese on toasted ciabatta - YUM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's yummy Sophie and easy to make too. I went on a pash for it and made loads; ate so much that I couldn't even think about it for months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm like that with plum crumbles this time of year Clare - two trees in the garden! We were having crumble so much last year that I was getting heartburn! Sophie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm a veggie Clare - so don't eat ham - but sounds like it would be nice without - as long as the figs dry ok! Sophie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 You need to put it in the oven or grill it gently, so they are juicy and runny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
