good to see figs as a seasonal fruit – even if they are waning.
I went to buy some for a fruit salad recipe that included peaches, figs and dates. the store – Raley’s – said they were a spring fruit. Made me wonder about the recipe then as it included a summer fruit – peaches with a spring fruit – figs.
Glad to know that they were wrong about the figs.
Sounds good and delicious….love fruits
I really would like to find a way to keep fruit. I dont like the idea of eating canned fruit that comes from China. Since that has happened I have not eaten any canned fruit. I wish we could get together and get companies to stop sending jobs to China etc.
I have frozen some things like blueberries and raspberries. But what can we do about peaches, pears, apples, and oranges
We try to eat yogurt and add fruit to get our daily allowance of fruit.
