I have a fig tree in my back yard that is absolutely huge and a lot of them are ripe right now. I could seriously pick over a thousand if I really wanted to.

I however have no fucking clue what to use them for. They are very sweet and good to eat straight off the tree but that gets old.

Any kind of pie recipes or cake or special meat marinades I can make with them?

Anything?

Of course I'll look some shit up online but I was wondering if any members here have a good recipe they are willing to share.

Thanks.

Dry them to preserve them? I have no idea but I love dried figs and cheese.

Man I just had one that tasted so much like a peach it was awesome.

I think I'm going to make a bunch of jam to start off with.

Alton Brown had an episode on how you can dry fruit using a fan and some furnace filters. You might be able to find a description online.

Send me some - SERIOUSLY!

I love figs...oh man.

I would make fig jam to start off with - no brainer.

I would also make some fig tarts which are amazing, paired with a thin layer of marzipan at the bottom...mmm

add just a TOUCH of cinnamon to the jam if you make it - that and brown sugar really bring out a figs flavour.

just a tiny bit mind you.
