| Click on photo to enlarge We have been living at our "old- Farm House" for a little over a year now.. Many changes have been made.. Still lots of work to do. I found this Farm Sweet Farm container at Hobby Lobby. My Pioneer Woman fruit jars, fit in it perfectly..[Don't you love when that happens?] Found the galvanized tray at hobby lobby too. [love that store]. It says, "Thankful, Grateful, and Truly Blessed." And it is so true. Our fruit trees have been giving us lots of fruit.. Figs and Pears are coming in.. So I decided to make some Fig/Strawberry Preserves. |

ReplyDeleteDianna, really good.. I really like figs, but love the combination... Cooking biscuits tonight to go with the preserves..
DeleteWish I could come visit and have strawberry/fig jam with biscuits. So glad your farm is producing!
DeleteVickie, wish you were here, I would give you a jar.. or load you up, with figs. smile
DeleteOh, this sounds wonderful!!! Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you, sweet friend. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl. They were really good. God bless you too. How is that sweet baby doing?
DeleteThat sounds absolutely delicious, the only time I have had figs is in Fig Newton cookies lol. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly. They are really good. I love fig newtons, but they taste nothing like real figs.ha
DeleteJudy, Figs??? You ARE blessed. Enjoy the fruits of your labor! (funny, I had generic fig-newtons yesterday. Na, really bad!) There were 3 strawberries in the front patch, but the squirrel? ate them! Your home, after just a year, is remarkable. xxoo Deedy
ReplyDeleteHa... Deedy.. we have the squirrels eating everything problem too.. We have a big long row of hazel nut trees.. They are loaded down each year.. But........... we NEVER get more than a taste of them.. the squirrels get them, before they ripen . Same thing, with the pecan tree.
DeleteI really like the combination strawberry/fig preserves.. I have made 2 batches this year.. Wish you were here, would have you picking figs. smile
Oh that photo is making my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteHa... Wish you were here, I would share with you..
DeleteYum, strawberry-fig preserves sounds really good! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I had one strawberry from my plants, this year! LOL.
ReplyDeletethank you Bless. I actually bought the strawberries.. As we had loads of figs this year.. I have given up on raising strawberries, the birds and critters [out in the country] love them too much.ha
DeleteSounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteLori, it is so good.. I know I gained a pound , just looking at it.ha
