Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@dan89156108]

We just bought a house with a Fig tree. We are going to try this recipe when they finish ripening.

OMG!! I was just looking for something to do with so many figs we have at our garden in Vancouver. I loved the way you incorporated pepper in the jam. You're a genius!!

[@Latebloomershow]

Don't forget the lemon peel, really makes a difference!! Thanks for watching and please share.

[@JacqDavis]

Oh, my! It looks absolutely delicious!

[@Latebloomershow]

It is! And if I ever get a minute, I'll send you a jar. :)

[@javierevaristo79]

That looks good can't wait for my figtree to start growing some figs . I want A jar of fig jam 😋 . great video

[@Latebloomershow]

I hope you get your figs! They are so amazing! My little fig tree only produced about a dozen normal size figs, but this brown turkey tree is amazing! I don't know how I got so lucky.

[@218mt]

This is a great video Kaye! Make more!

[@Latebloomershow]

I will! I have such a backlog of material, though. Maybe in a few days.

[@jkhenderson1]

Fantastic recipe! Saved to my favorites!

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you! So sorry it took so long to respond. Had a major injury and got behind. Much better now.

[@meehan302]

Nicely done Kaye. You make it look so easy. I never had fig Jam but I like to eat figs. Cheers Patrick

[@Latebloomershow]

Oh, I wish I could share this with you in your allotment, Patrick!!

[@darlenekrauskopf4656]

This looks delicious.Thank you.

[@eliznaomistuart]

Thanks for this recipe! We get many GIANT turkey figs as well, so we’ll make a double recipe!

[@daisyjo5358]

Wow that is easy!! Now to find some figs in Michigan,, sigh .. so jealous;) Was so nice to see your good work lol your son is Adorable;)

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you!! Yes, probably not the best climate, but you have so many things I can't grow here, like cherries... :) Yes, very lucky to have such a great son. Thank you!

[@junaidfaiz]

Brilliant work & nice sub-continent dress at the end of the video.

[@kellysaephanh2591]

Thank you for sharing the recipe 😋 can't wait to give it a try.

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you, Kelly! I have now made six batches like the one in the video, but figs are nearly done. Luckily pineapple guavas are coming in, and now my focus is chutney. :)

[@kellysaephanh2591]

Unfortunately I missed out on my figs tree this year. Went over two weeks ago and she had moved out. And I'm guessing the realtor had all the fruits trees cut down. 😓Every year for the pass 4yrs jI'm so lucky to have such a sweet lady that let me pick from her figs trees growing out of her yard. Thank you for the reminder. Hoping we all will see a video of how you make your pineapple guava jam.😊

[@mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies]

Looks delicious Kaye !! Love the bubblies at the end 😀😀

[@Latebloomershow]

Did you notice what I was wearing in final shot? :)

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you!!

[@simplifygardening]

Great recipe Kaye. maybe leave the pepper in next time and try to see if the heat stays. looks lovely

[@Latebloomershow]

I did on batch number two. And a hotter pepper, orange thai. :)

[@VivianaDM]

Loved this! Hope to see more recipes soon! Hope you're doing good, Kaye!

Thank you!! I know I need to send you some seeds. :)

[@VivianaDM]

Don't worry!!! Whenever you get to it! 😄 hope to see new videos soon!

[@Latebloomershow]

Viviana, I had a feeling of dread sweep over me today. Aren't you in Puerto Rico??

[@VivianaDM]

Yes I am! We are safe for now, we're bunkered down in the house and no major winds as of yet but I'm terrified!!! Hopefully it won't be as bad as everyone dreads. Will let you know afterwards! Take care! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Latebloomershow]

What a relief to hear from you!! If you survived Irma, you will survive Maria. I will keep you in my thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you in a few days.

[@user-py9ow5fg7k]

Excellent

[@sharonslife6153]

Very nice, thank you.

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you! So sorry it took so long to respond. Had a major injury and got behind. Much better now.

[@Androshi]

you should try your hand at "pineapple and pepper jam" - all it is - 2 pounds of pineapples -2 pounds of sugar -splash of lemon juice and 1 cut up pepper -preferably red pepper or yellow. you will love it ! jams are so easy! its always equal amounts of fruit to sugar and then the waiting game. is walker your son? he looks like you around the eyes. i hope you get into canning because its real fun !

[@angelamaro1693]

Hi kaye, that's a bean smasher to make refried beans .didn't know you could use it for mashed potatoes. Ha Ha ,continue to make great videos. UPSMan retired local 63 Calif.

[@Latebloomershow]

Hahaha, you know I always had a metal one, and my hubs brought this one home once, and it never worked as well as my old metal one. Maybe because it's not a potato masher!! LOL. I'm so glad to hear from you, been a long time. I was wondering about you the other day.

[@kingenglishshow7853]

good production

[@Latebloomershow]

Thank you!

[@AbedElkassih]

I'll take one

[@thehealingberrygarden9608]

Oh, I love these big figs of yours! Your climate is ideal for them. Mine are still tiny and will not ripen here in my rainy, chilly summers. In the supermarkets you rarely get them and if they have some they cost more than one euro per piece (and they are real small, mabye half the size of yours). So no fig jam for me here. Loved that video, especially your guest star. ;-)

[@Latebloomershow]

LOL, thank you, my love!! :)

[@eeeekie]

I made a Jalapeño/Fig Jam for my husband a few days ago. I got the figs from my local swap group and realized my husband wasn't a fan of just eating fig lol.

[@Latebloomershow]

You mean he did not go for the jam you made?? Sounds wonderful, though I would go a little hotter with the pepper. You can always add some pear or peach or plum to disguise. :)

[@Chris.Davies]

FIG! JAM!

[@sherylwilliams1672]

I lucked upon your 1st cooking video.

[@Latebloomershow]

I'd forgotten which one was first. 😌😌

[@sherylwilliams1672]

@@Latebloomershow you said during the video welcome to your first cooking video. 😃

[@madhattersartstudio8344]

your fgs are huge! how do you keep the birds away from fig tree?

[@lorilumax6850]

mmm.. looks good... we always used a cheesecloth satchel to hold any spices or herbs you want to flavor your dish and then remove when done cooking... or at any time you like.. When I made tomato jam I used some hot pepper, black pepper, cinnamon and ginger.. I used a small apple for pectin and sweetness... I like the bits of fruit in my jam but could have used an immersion and blender ti make it pureed. then I jarred and store in the freezer ... ( no canning) ... try dehydrating some produce.. I use my oven light... (even greens..)

[@Latebloomershow]

Hmmm, was just thinking I need a dehydrator, but I really don't have counter space for it. I can just use my oven? It's gas. So, how do you use the light for heat? As for the cheesecloth, I thought about that after I did it. LOL. Oh, I'm definitely going to make tomato jam with your ingredients. Did not think about black pepper! Did you use fresh ginger? I just used an apple in my pineapple guava chutney, did not realize that helped to thicken it!

[@Latebloomershow]

Also, I do want an immersion blender. Do you have one you can recommend? I'll order today! I have the last of my green tomatoes to can.

[@lorilumax6850]

I used ground ginger.. a dash.. (tbsp?) and I also used a bit of sugar.. ( rounded tsp?) but not sure it needed it.. its lovely on toast, but to make it into a meat sauce like ketchup or bbq.. not as much sugar.. and a touch of vinegar... chia will also thicken jams.. I am sure many fruits would work in this way.. I started with a small batch.. about 3 pints? a few under ripened fruit helps to thicken too

[@lorilumax6850]

I was given one and it is a Oster.. can't say I have used another one

[@lorilumax6850]

I found my recipe for the jam. This recipe was inspired by Ray at Praxxus55712 on KZbin. I found this sweet, so adjust as needed.. Makes a heavy syrup or loose jam. Lovely on toast. Sweet and tangy. nice on a burger. Makes 3 pints Lori's Tomato Jam 5 1/2 cups blended tomatoes 1 1/2 cups blended apples (high pectin fruit of choice) 4 cups sugar ( fairly sweet, but helps with thickening and preserving) 1 cup vinegar 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ginger 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/4 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp pepper flakes (ground) 1 tsp pepper (ground) 1 tsp salt Enjoy

[@racheltevaseu6508]

lol @ pause before saying 'drunken style' nice dramatic touch.

[@janicedias_sowgrowanddiy]

Love to watch you cook Kaye....couldn't you have put the figs in a blender? Just asking....

[@Latebloomershow]

Oh I'm sure you could, or a food processor, but I happen to like variety in texture. When things are too smooth, it gets boring my mouth. Haha.Great to hear from you this AM!

[@EnterBiH]

This is mediterranean fig - no turkey

[@omanicutey]

is Walker your son ?

[@Latebloomershow]

Yes, you can see an interview with him in Season 5 playlist: bit.ly/2wg4ee4

[@cloviskersey9739]

Ffs it's a recipe. We don't need to watch you pick the things, or that your tree is 'incredible'. Get on with it!
