We planted a few mission fig trees when we bought our property, it took a couple of years before they started producing figs. I really wasn't sure what to do with them other than eat them from the tree. I started making fig jam a few years later and found out that lots of people love it!  So our fig jam was a hit! I've specialized my jam by making a few different varieties and have added four more fig trees to our yard! Fresh local fruit picked at peak ripeness is what makes our jam full of flavor!
