I hope someday my trees produce enough for me to even consider drying them. I haven't even reached "sharing" levels yet.

Thank you for the video. What is the purpose of boiling, then chilling them? Be safe and well.

Blanching stops enzyme actions which otherwise cause loss of flavor, color and texture. In addition, blanching removes some surface dirt and microorganisms, brightens color and helps slow vitamin losses. Ice bath stops the cooking process.

Can you do anything with the unripe figs that won’t ripen in time or are they unfortunately garbage? Cool video thanks for sharing!

Hello I really enjoy watching your videos thank you for all the content. I was wondering if you had any cuttings for sale?

Cuttings season is quickly coming to an end, but I will likely spring trim my trees. Feel free to email me at nrallers@gmail.com

How long do you think they could theoretically be left alone and still be good? Weeks, months? I didn’t get quite the expected harvest this year, but I know next years will be better as the trees will be more mature with more fruiting wood.

I would say a few months. They never seem to last that long without being eaten!

I dried a loit last season, and they are still fine, so at least 1 year. I did not blanch them; just dried them.

With some, this year I felt they could use a rinse, so I did. but I am not worried about germs. After they are dry, I will blanch them in salted water, for a minute, then dry them again. this makes them softer and yummier. I tried it with some last year. This is effectively a blanch, but at a different stage, and they don't become cooked at all. the salt probably also helps to preserve them. I leave all my figs whole too. after about 6 months, some of them have started to develop fine sugar crystals on the outside, which does not detract from their flavour; kind ion like fruit leather.

Did you use sea water to blanch the figs, or add a ratio of sea salt per liter of fresh water prior to blaching? I saw KZbin tutorials that used sea water and, or add sea salt to water before blanching the figs.

I did not use salt, but it sounds intriguing!

did yours get a slight green tinge on the skin after drying? Mine did and I wondered if it was mold setting in? the taste was okay. Mine are green figs, not the black mission figs.

So how many hours total for drying the figs
@PAFigs4 жыл бұрын
It depends on the size of the pieces and your particular dehydrator. I normally let mine run over night.
