果酱百分百

Figs are small, pear-shaped fruit with thin edible skin and sweet pulpy flesh. Although dried figs are available throughout the year, there is nothing like the unique taste and texture of fresh figs. Figs are seasonal fruit available between February to May ( My observation from the garden ). 

Figs are delicious eaten on their own, in salads or in desserts and baking.

Two fig trees and a plum tree

These fig trees are from my 太后's garden, they are lusciously sweet with a texture that combines the chewiness of their flesh, the smoothness of their skin and the crunchiness of their seeds. I have planted one in my garden unfortunately the tree is not growing well .....

I pick some figs from the garden and use the left over figs for jam making ..... jam making is one of my favourite cooking methods, I used to make jam and bring them back to Kuala Lumpur for my family and friends.

Here you go .....  My beautiful fig jam, 100% fruit with limited quantity of sugar

Bumper harvest of figs - they can be brown, purple or black and vary in size. 

Fig jam on toast

I always use avocado to replace butter or margarine on toasts, add fig jam and some sliced fresh figs, it's simply delicious ..... cottage cheese or ricotta cheese are another great option too ...... Ideal for Sunday brunch, tea time or supper ..... use crackers for light snacks.
