Every summer I like to “put up” (southern for canning) fresh summer fruits and vegetables for winter and to share with friends. A few weeks ago at our local fresh air market I found a bounty of figs. You could say they left me feeling a little figgy because I have been using them on EVERYTHING! …Salads! …On toast mixed with honey and cream cheese! YUM! …And roasted with Brussel sprouts and bacon. I had so many I decided to can a few jars with fresh local raspberries I had frozen a few weeks prior. The flavor is a perfect combination of tangy and sweet. If you are feeling figgy too, give this recipe a try. It is delicious!
