Figs, Finds and lost 'Stuff'

Here is the fig preserves/jam. These are like small gift jars.

Some go in the freezer whole to cook later.

I picked , washed, peeled, chopped and soaked, cooked about half a bushel for the pear preserves/jam.

Will pick again for the whole ones will can in pineapple juice.

i heard about this way from Laurie. Do instead of the simple syrup.

So will give a go!

Used to dry apples, pear, peaches but my dehydrator died many moons ago and never replaced it.

Dried fruit is good in fried pies!!!

After I clean up the pears mess here in a bit will go up to Aunt Dot’s to pick Concord Grapes.

Will just cook them and save juice to make jelly later.

Will take some pics of the vines while up there.
