There’s a 100 year old Italian honey fig tree in my Momma’s yard. She’s made amazing strawberry fig preserves for the last 40+ years.

[@elizabethjohnson475]

Oooh, sounds so good.

[@ladyryan902]

How lovely!!..have you thought about saving cutting and or splicing to grow more of the same tree? These acclimated antique trees are disappearing 😢

[@saltwaterinmyveins]

@@ladyryan902 Yes Ma'am, there's been many cuttings from it. This winter Im going to "air prune" some of it for folks. You'll see old fig trees or sour orange trees around here by old places.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

In my country figs are mostly traditionally sun dried, than threaded on a cotton twine and hanged in a cool, dry place. Fig jam is also wonderful:)))

[@elizabethjohnson475]

Well that's a different way to dehydrate other than a dehydrator or tray out in the sun!!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

@@elizabethjohnson475 My Granny used to put them on a metal mesh so that there would be enough airflow and covered them with gauze cloth to protect them from insects. Turned them every day. When dried enough, threaded them using big needle :))

[@Dave-ty2qp]

You and Elizabeth just gave lots of of people good ideas to try. Thank you both.

[@breesechick]

Thank you everyone for sharing 😊

[@nancygrogan6082]

Those jars of figs are beautiful! I was so looking forward to canning this year but I’m having a health issue that’s keeping me from it. But praise God for my son and his wife. They have taken my canner and supplies to their house. My son said he was hooked!

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

What a blessing!

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

The back to basics videos are spot on thanks Danny and Wanda. Regards from Australia 🦘🦘

[@angelapriddy6308]

Wanda I never got a notice from you tube about this video. In fact I didn't know till y'all's live that you even did this. I so appreciate you and you making this video. You didn't do it for your health. You did it for all of ours. Love you. Don't stop doing the cooking videos. Ok. It's you tube.

[@millielanning1690]

I never knew that about olive oil.. thanks for the tip.

[@stevehoover16]

Thank you Danny and Wanda

[@anabelaramos8399]

You can dry them under the sun like in the mediterrean countries as well.

[@thecatniplife]

Birds and squirrels are getting more of my figs than I am. I’ll have to net the tree next year.

[@franpaterno486]

❤ the way y’all work together. Danny cling the tree lol to get the figs and Wanda, canning the finds. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mollysmith6055]

What a beautiful way to preserve this bounty. I have to purchase them, it cost $65 to make hubby a triple batch of his Nana's fig jam for the next year. Thank you for the olive oil tip, I'll remember that for next year.

[@emeraldwaterlifehomestead2180]

Good morning to you, My figs are growing so slow this year, maybe the heat or lack of rain. Wanda you are a wealth of knowledge, love your tips. Great video. ❤️❤️

[@yankeeredneck6017]

Perfect timing. Another couple weeks and my figs outta be ready. Thank you Wanda!

[@Anamericanhomestead]

Man I wish our fig tree got that big. Mine is more like a fig bush. But at least we still get lots of figs.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Figs are one fruit we would hate to do without.

[@suzannefritts813]

I planted a fig tree last year and finally this year it is loaded with figs. I am so excited. This video is just what I needed as I will be preserving them for the first time. ❤

[@deborahjennings4119]

I started canning our figs like Wanda and we absolutely love them!

[@jennbama]

Good morning.

[@elizabethjohnson475]

I've seen yt videos of people who water-bath in Europe and they use a kitchen towel, just one layer, in the bottom of the water-bath. Thanks for telling us not to pack them in, and to use vinegar each jar. I do not tip my jars to get the water off the top, when pulling them out of the water-bath, because then the liquid inside could get underneath my lid as it is trying to seal. I'm learning more and more that canning with water is just not desirable, with fruit. I'm glad you're using at least a light syrup. I'm convinced with my canning that a medium syrup is best. I never did want the added sugar, and I guess I could use xylitol instead of granulated sugar, but the fruit is just not satisfactory without a syrup. I tried, and it just didn't work. Thanks so much, Wanda for showing your canning! Regards from far north California on top Johnson mountain.

[@LittleOcasioHomestead]

Good morning 😊

[@joanncole9603]

Watching this process is so calming.

I freeze my fresh lemon squeezed juice in Ice cubes containers and use them as I go. Fresh lemon 24/7 365.

how great ~! our fig trees die back each year..never could you walk on them up here...mid desert arizona...love those white type figs too...

[@debbies2966]

Good morning! Thank you for teaching Wanda.

[@janetnga3234]

Have to try this, mine will be ready soon.

[@rogerstuart4693]

Thankyou Wanda! My figs are getting ripe 3 weeks early for here. Started picking yesterday. Loved your fig canning video. Kathy

[@500dollarjapanesetoaster8]

I like fig jam, though the whole poached figs are nice too, and a little less sweet. I make a semi-candied lemon (slices, with the skin) slow boiled in sugar until the peel is translucent. If there's excess syrup, I save that off. I then blend the cooked figs with the lemon slices and it makes a very tasty jam.

[@paularizzo5217]

Those canned figs look so good. My baby tree has given me two whole figs this year. They are available in some Farmer's Markets. I hope I get a chance to can some. Mom used to add thin sliced of lemon to her figs; those were just an extra treat when you found one. Wanda, those jars are just gorgeous!

[@elizabethjohnson475]

Ah. So while the lemon gave the unique flavor, it was also her way to add the acid for safe water-bath canning.

[@paularizzo5217]

@@elizabethjohnson475 I doubt it. I don't remember her water bathing the figs at all.

[@serenitysealed485]

Thank you Wanda and Danny.

[@LindaSAndrews.]

They look so amazing. We lost all ours when the hard freeze in Alabama

[@susancoulange382]

Wanda and Danny, your fig trees are amazing! Mine are only a couple of years old, so still bushes. Have you heard of a steam canner? It's for water bath canning. I love it. It uses a small amount of water so saves on water and electricity. I can no longer lift the water bath canner because of the weight of the water. I "bailed" water for a while until I found the steam canner. You use the same recipes as water bath but are cooking with steam. Thank you for all of your tips and tricks!

[@lorenstribling6096]

When I was a child we climbed Mama's fig tree every summer. By the way your 4 to 1 ratio makes perfect hummingbird nectar. Just sweet enough to bring out the fig taste.

[@cathybehle-ernst5796]

Beautiful! Makes my mouth water! 😃

when we had figs, we made fig peserves, then used then in pecan pies.

[@laurelanderson8720]

Yummy! Although I've never tried figs before they look tasty! ❤

Figs are my favorite fruit. I have 15 fig trees but not as tall as yours.

That 4-1 mixture is the same ratio I use for my hummingbird nectar

[@journeywithnichole]

Just picked a nice big bowl from a neighbor who gave up sugar and says she doesn’t like fruit now!! Lord please don’t ever let me lose my love for fruit!! Feel so blessed to have those delicious figs. Over $150 worth if I were to purchase fresh from store/market. I dehydrated most of them. I love to throw them with dried strawberries in my oatmeal. Yesterday I made a fig and strawberry fruit cobbler with the fresh fruit. Yumm!! Figs Thank you for the video. I had no idea you could can them. When I get my second bowl in a couple days, I will try this. Thank you!

[@jabneel7]

This is an excellent video. My mother always canned our figs . Our tree was so huge ,we had to use a ladder to go around the tree and pick all the figs. I can ,freeze and dehydrate my figs today. Thank God for all our blessings.❤

[@noranature]

Dear Wanda. you explained it very well and that was very helpful for me. Many thanks and all the best for you and Danny.

[@Stephenrsm7600]

Thanks for showing us how to can figs!!! Thank you!!!

[@monkeymommy778]

Good morning Ms Wanda and Mr Danny. Our fig trees need more time (and possibly more water) to grow before they produce. Thank you for the tip on the no scrub method for cleaning the water bath canner.

[@reneenewfrock5743]

My figs are producing and I needed to know what to do with them. Thank you. Unfortunately, my family isn't fond of figs.

[@seriousprepper9506]

I like them pickled. Last year a bear sat up in mine and had a picnic. Broke alot of limbs so I had to cut it back.

[@MissyVButterflyHill]

Thank you for this video! Don't have figs yet but bought nareroots that are now growing. Will plant in mineral tub in fall and keep in greenhouse. Hope they make it. That was a great tip on the pot stain Wanda!

Doggon it Wanda you are making me crave figs. Looks so delicious 😋

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

I've been wanting to grow figs for a long time. I keep looking around here to see if they grow. I haven't found any yet.

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

I saw amish can everything waterbath...3 hours to 4 hours for things we pressure can, so doing figs as long as you do wouldn't be a problem.

[@debramiller3165]

Mornin’ 🙏🏻

[@ellencanipe4191]

My fig tree is the size of yours and is completely loaded this year. Not ready to be picked yet but soon. Mine are a different variety they stay green. Sweet and delicious if I can get to them early in the morning before the bees and birds get up... looking forward to getting some on the shelf this year. I made your mock strawberry jam with them last year... delicious!

[@sherripowell7285]

Thank you for this information. We mostly quarter our figs and dehydrate them. We use them for any recipes we would have used raisins for or just eat them dried. They are excellent in fig bread and oatmeal cookies. Do you use these in recipes or do you just eat them as they are?

[@sundrop3911]

Thank you Wanda for a great video on how to can figs. You said not to cram them in the jar smashing them, but did you still debubble them?

How do I purchase Danny corn seed? Thank you

[@grannieannie9421]

Good hint on the olive oil, my fig tree died back 5 years ago and has resprouted but hasn't produced figs yet, any idea what I could do?

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Did you make a jelly from the left over water when you cooked the figs?

[@carolmccarthy201]

In the water bath, did you cover the bottles with water and if so how far up?

[@GingerSnapVizsla]

Thanks for this video. I see you have shared how to can figs a few times. I just made this following your instructions. I was wondering what to do with the leftover syrup? I have about 4 cups of beautiful pink syrup left. I don't want to throw it away!

Wanda, what do you make with canned figs? Fig jam/topping is good on hamburger buns (hambergers).

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We eat these as is. For breakfast

[@annhendrick8681]

DeepSouthHomeStead: Wanda, where did you get the piece to go in the bottom of your pot???? I bought the pot from Walmart but the spacer I have won’t fit in it.

[@nydiamarcial3844]

Great video Wanda. I plan to buy a fig tree, Danny which fig is the best to grow in zone 10 A?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

There are actually several for your zone. I prefer the brown turkey variety.

[@sylviah1234]

I have a lot of frozen figs that I 'cut' the tip off down a little below the stem. Do you think I can still water bath them in a light syrup whole with this tip cut off?? I have a 10 year old black mission fig tree and get two crops a year. I have so much jam backed up. I would like to do some of the whole canned. thank you so much.

Do you pick them before they are fully ripe? Figs are the one fruit the tree rats have not gotten to in my garden and I would like to preserve some.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Pick when they are turning and soft to touch

[@tbone9194]

Ms. Wanda, you are a Proverbs 31 woman, your knowledge and gifts are a blessing. I never canned nor water bath. My stove is a smooth top. Is your stove also a smooth top? If it is, that big pot is good for a smooth top?

[@ellencanipe4191]

You need to check with your manufacturer. I have a glass top GE that has no problem handling canning and water bathing.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I used to have a glass top and i canned all the time in it. This was a few years ago

[@suemiller1947]

Great video! The first time I had whole cooked figs was at a restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina . They had a slit cut on the side that hid a half of a walnut. Mmmm good. I thought that I hated figs cause the only figs I ever ate was in a cookie called a Fig bar. Don't know if they still sell them but they were so sugary sweet and the cookie was soggy , inedible.

[@breesechick]

Yes they are called fig Newtons and they're very popular for some reason.
