Making Fig Jalapeno Jam

Figs are ripening non-stop right now. For this harvest we decided to make a Fig Jalapeno jam. Hot and sweet.

We are working on jam labels too and will show pictures of the finished product soon.

this is gorgeous! I've been working with the same materials lately - figs, jalapenos, canning. Beautiful photos of this fun process.

Hello from the West Coast of Canada! I have been following your blog for a while and enjoy the goings on of your farm. It is remarkable what you produce with such limited space in Brooklyn.

A friend of mine and I have started a blog to discuss our experiences with gardening and cooking on Vancouver Island. I have put a link on our blog (thefoodhamlet.blogspot.com) to your blog. I hope that is OK.

Cheers!

Love what you've done with the figs! (and your whole blog in general...)

We also have large, older, well established fig trees and give away figs daily these days. We just moved into this place a month ago (paradise!) and I'm wondering about the fig trees...do you prune yours or wrap it at all for the winter? Our landlord says they've never wrapped them - the oldest tree is about 50 years old and the youngest is about 30. But pruning...well, any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks and happy harvesting!

hello redgardenclogs,

have a look at this older article about our fig tree.

We do prune. Otherwise we won't be able to reach the figs up top. That's been a recent realization.

Thanks for reading!
