Summer Vacation 2008 - Part 3 - Figs and Fun

For those of you that know me, you know that I love to cook, can veggies from my garden and will put up any kind of food that people give me. While I was on vacation, I was able to pick figs at a friend of my Aunt's (I forgot to take the camera with me). We had fun making strawberry figs and regular figs for biscuits and toast. Did I mention that I have eaten almost an entire pint of figs all by myself since we've been home? We made about 24 pints of the stuff and I'm not sure if it will last us until next year!!! Here we are cutting the tops off the figs...






Sean even joined in on the fun...








Here are the figs after we cut all the stems off. Now, that's a lot of figs!!



This is me, mashing up the figs for strawberry fig jam...



Then, Aunt Mary decided she would give me a hand, literally...



Thanks for showing me how to make figs Aunt Mary.
