Thank you Wanda

[@armywife7922]

Good evening Miss Wanda, Those Figs look delicious. Thanks for sharing. We are still needing rain here in Central Texas. Another week of 100plus temps with no rain in sight.I canned up 7 quarts of fresh plums today. they look fantastic. Blessings.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We only got 3 plums. Maybe next year

[@cynthiahumphrey1718]

Our fig tree is loaded but they are not ripe yet. Love having figs on my shelf!

[@annmarie3520]

I’m definitely going to try this! My figs are not ready yet here in NC but there growing! Thanks for great video!❤️🙏🏻😘

Your figs look beautiful and delicious Wanda. Have a blessed day friend

[@angelasakellaropoulos5582]

So glad you are finally getting some rain.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It was just a small shower for a couple minutes.

[@kathylane5934]

I have some. I hope they make it. I am going to make your fig newtons

[@SeeTheWholeTruth]

I like thick fig preserves. Wonderful recipe and share, I sure miss fig trees.

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Hi Wanda, Can't wait until your cook book to comes out! I just ordered one for Mike (retired chef) as a gift, he will love it. Our fig tree is healthy however the figs are still green. We are deep soaking every 4 day because of the severe Texas drought. For 35 days it's been 104 to 110 and no rain. You can see in the last video we did. Thank God you and Danny are getting rain. You have been on our prayer list every day and God does provide and he will for us. We are looking forward to rain and harvesting figs. Good to see you Wanda, Blessings, Rochelle

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It only ended up being a small shower for a few minutes.

We LOVE fig jam at my house! But I have never heard of canning whole figs! I’m VERY curious to know how to use canned figs!!! This will be exciting for us to be able have figs all year instead of just 2 weeks out of the year!

[@annmarie3520]

Well, today was the day I canned 2 1/2 gallons of frozen figs per your directions! I had a yield of 12 pints of whole figs in simple syrup. And enough extra soft figs to make some jam out of! Wonderful!!! I do have a lot of simple fig syrup left over, any suggestions of what to use it for? Sad to throw out, it’s so tasty!❤️😘🙏🏻

[@joannb6330]

fig in turkey stuffen is good.🤤

[@lotus....]

Good idea!

[@franny5295]

Just because you're advocating for For Jars lids, I thought I'd let you know that I ordered some and the box got crushed. Even though it wasn't their fault they are sending me a replacement. They're customer surface is excellent.

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Crazy question. Could you take the left over juice after cooking. Add fresh pureed berries and make jelly? Would probably be yummy!

[@elizabethjohnson475]

I saw the blue orb-planet in the opening of the last doug and stacy. They knew about or wouldn't have filmed it. I first figured it was a reflection of the sun, just like a second later a reflection underneath the sun. But, I guess it's the real deal, passing through out solar system?

[@elizabethjohnson475]

ForJars website says their difference is that their lids are thicker. It says that the family was originally from Ukraine. Nice figs! from far north California

[@nancytharp8213]

Great video to watch while shelling zipper peas. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝

[@grandmaatthefarm125]

I'm having great success with the ForJars lids, too. Thank you for recommending them. And yes, my fig tree is really kicking out the figs this year! Blessings to You, Wanda.

If you have a Lowes or home depot I just got fig trees monday loaded with figs for $ 8.49. Regularly 25 what a deal ty now I will put some up when there ripe.

[@Skashoon]

Wow! I sure would like to have more fig trees as I just have one now. At that price I could have two more. Thank you!

[@Bama_J]

Morning y’all! Our figs are coming in too. I love figs

[@colleenbryant3614]

Wanda the figs look yummy.

[@shielataylor9423]

I love the For Jar lids I haven't had any that hasn't sealed. The ball lids That I managed to get in 2021 are horrible most of the sealant is on top of the lid and I've had numerous fails. So Thank You for letting all know about For Jar lids

[@jennbama]

My ball lids from last year were bad about not sealing too

[@lionheart830]

I bought new Ball jars and the seals are horrible. I'm afraid to use them. The red seal is all around the sides and some have them, well it looks like the seal material was wiped across the top of the lids. I do use ForJars with complete success!

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

Those figs look amazing. Thank you for sharing with us Wanda much appreciated I love figs ❤❤.

[@jerriscollins-ruth9019]

Thanks for the figs and cookbook

Beautiful fig canning Wanda!

[@suziq4512]

Yummy! 😊 thank you Wanda!!❤️

[@jamesswick7534]

My knowledge about canning is rudentary so I'm sorry if the question is stupid. Why don't you have to pressure can these? Does the lemon juice add enough acid so you can use the water bath canner instead of the pressure canner? I know the lemon juice helps to keep the color as well. Also, how do you keep the squirrels and birds from getting your figs before you harvest them

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

They're a fruit and can be water bathed. We shoot anything that messes with our food source.

[@theIAMofME]

All three of our fig trees are full this year. It's weird, once in awhile we'll find a few that are ripe. But, most are still growing and have awhile to go. Wanda, maybe I'm missing something. But, don't you wash your figs?? I wash mine before I eat them. But, this will be the first year I can them. We've never had enough. We will this year!!!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes we wash them just for a moment. Then let dry before we use them.

[@Dunlap-uj5zl]

👍

[@karendavenport6824]

Just ordered your cookbook from Etsy, Mrs. Wanda. Super excited about it. Thank you for creating it!

[@SuperWhatapain]

Nice buncha figs! Thx for can info. God bless

[@lotus....]

How long are figs good in the freezer? I have a ton of LSU Purple figs in the freezer from last year. Planning to mix them w strawberries and make jam or preserves.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

A few years frozen.

[@Mercedes65]

I have property in Northeast TN-and Im planing on building a food forest for my family and community. I would appreciate any recommendations on which fig tree varieties to plant.

[@debbiebohannan5340]

Hey Miss Wanda. I received your cookbook today! How timely is it that you are talking about it in today's video. I also received Mr Danny's Sweet Potato and Carrot manuals. Appreciate both of you sharing your knowledge and testimonies. God Bless.

[@gailwatkins8843]

Good morning Ms. Wanda. I've never had a fig before, unless you count fig newtons. What is the flavor and texture? How do you use them? There is one thing I don't understand. When I can green beans it says don't use the water that you blanched your beans in to fill your jars. Is it because of the sugar that you can use the juice when you jar them or is it the pressure canning method that makes the difference? Your figs look beautiful. I've been using the ForJars since last year when you put us on to them. I haven't had a failure yet. Thank you so much for the information you pass on to us. You are a gem!! We learn so much from you and your explanations are so concise and easy to follow. You do an amazing job Ms. Wanda. Love you and Mr. Danny so much. Blessings always, g.

[@elizabethjohnson475]

I've canned beans for many years and never heard of having to blanch. I don't blanch, and my home grown and home canned green beans turn out better than anything boughten.

[@gailwatkins8843]

​@@elizabethjohnson475 I'm sorry if I offended you, you sound upset at my method. That's just the way my grandma taught me to do them and I've just continued to follow in her footsteps. If your methods work for you I'm very happy. I wasn't trying to tell anyone how they should do beans I was simply asking a question. I hope you enjoy this canning season. It's such a blessing and one I think more and more people are beginning to learn and enjoy. It sure is fun to watch the pantry filling up with food we've grown and preserved ourselves. Blessings always, g.

[@shodson314]

I would like to see a video on how you use up the canned figs

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We eat them whole with our breakfast.

[@elizabethjohnson475]

@@DeepSouthHomestead I canned peaches and maybe pears once each with water, just to seem more healthy (I sure like you idea of one c sugar to five c water). Using water was not satisfactory at all to our taste buds. I use xylitol now, a natural sugar, with lemon juice, too. But no more water-only "syrup".

[@gretaknebel8495]

Your figs look delicious! Hope I can find some soon to eat and preserve.

[@angeladrury7060]

WHat about perservses??

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We make some preserves but whole is the way we like them best

[@judiehawkins7738]

Ms Wanda have you tried pickled figs they are so good taste alot like pickled peaches

[@dorindajenkins7825]

🙋

[@PrepperPotpourri]

I just canned with ForJar lids for the first time this week too. I was concerned because I didn't hear the "ping" like I do with Ball. However, all the jars sealed just fine.

[@elizabethjohnson475]

Their website says it will be a pretty quiet ping.

[@cathybehle-ernst5796]

Miss Wanda, how do you use these canned figs? Are there several ways you utilize them or are they for eating as is? I would sure loved to know. I’ve only use to eating fresh figs and fig preserves on biscuits or toast.

You can eat them as is with breakfast.

[@tommyperkinshuntingfishing8424]

***LEGIT QUESTION*** In a pinch, can the lids be reused? I realize this is not a preferred method but if you had no more lids and new ones was not available would it work?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I don't re use except as a cover in the refrigerator. You are never certain of a seal. Will have more failues to seal. In a lce, your food and time will be precious.

[@tommyperkinshuntingfishing8424]

[@tommyperkinshuntingfishing8424]

[@astatine0085]

When are they ready to pick? When they snap off without little resistance?

[@jennbama]

For eating -When they turn brown and easily come off. No green on them. For canning you might want them Tanish/brown so they don't get soggy

[@astatine0085]

@@jennbama ok I’ll keep an eye on them. They are still green and kind of small. My first harvest (only about 8 of them on the tree), can’t wait!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We pick them when they're soft to the touch. You can't go by color because the sun doesn't get to some under the leaves.

[@rfarmstead3087]

What variety of figs did you grow?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We have brown turkey, lemon, LSU, and our grandpa figs.

[@BradfordHomestead]

OK I’m a little confuse you’re saying one and one, but your recipe says one cup of sugar to 4 cups of water. So you’re doing a heavy syrup?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I had a quart container. 4 cups and i added 1 cup of water. That is why i said 4 water and 1 cup sugar. I may have confused some worth the 4 containers water ( 4 cups each) to 1 cup sugar

[@thenewyorkredneck4735]

Tip number one. Remove ALL children from my property before they eat every last fig 😅

[@sadiejackson774]

They are made in China. I avoid made in China products if I can. This company sent out a bunch of free products to many youtube channels. Several youtube channels posting at the same time about these lids. The test will be how long they stay sealed.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We have been using them for over a year with no failures. The American made ones are rusting and starting to fail. We use what works. Most everything is made in China now even most all medications clothes ECT. Don't be fooled by American made all they have to do is put one screw in something and call it American made even though it was made in China.

[@sadiejackson774]
