[@gerrymarmee3054]

People sometimes say they are not interested in figs because they did not like Fig Newtons. A fresh fig is nothing like a Fig Newton. They are really sweet and delicious!

[@NC_SUGAR]

I know this is about a year later. But I agree. Fig Newtons don't even taste like they have figs in them. Just sugar and tiny seeds.

[@911dips5]

Gosh, fig newtons are a bad representative for how good figs are

[@stevencouitt4286]

Like the difference between canned tuna and fresh.

[@loukrudewig3414]

Thank you for this. You are a wonderful teacher

[@athenasbody1544]

Wanda is a great teacher. So calm and methodical. I love watching to prepare and it feels like family.

[@torchwoody58]

Pam says- Fig leaves can be dried and used as a tea. Like a fruity black tea. Very nice.

[@nolagirlhomestead]

I add a new leaf to my nighttime herbal tea. Crushed Mulberry and citrus leaves with camomile put me in a happy place!

[@HumanWayMetaphysics]

Wonderful, be blessed 🙏

[@judyabernathy80]

Ms Wanda, you did a wonderful job. I’ll bet your family loved having a Mom who could do most anything. Quite the roll model! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️

[@Ann_Palmer]

I heard you mention that you don’t like sweet. I just learn from ag extension that sugar is just to help with color and texture. So I canned pears with zero sugar -vjust water and lemon juice. They turned out great ! I have a baby fig tree I can’t wait to try this “ round robin” canning method with them.

[@theIAMofME]

Loved it!! Our trees are having an off year or something. Every third year we have more figs than we know what to do with. This is the year after the third year. No figs at all. But, the leaves are beautiful. So, I am dehydrating all the leaves I can for tea. It REALLY makes some good tasting tea. AND it's good for you!!

[@tracyflenner]

I need to try this. Do you ever add anything to those leaves or drink the tea plain? What does it taste like?

[@SimplyBackwoods]

Wow I didn't know how many things you can make with figs. You've been getting quite a bit of rain. We are as well here. Thanks for instructions on cleaning the latex off the figs> I like the Bee Wrap Paper. Thank you for sharing canning the figs, Wanda and for Danny sharing his taste testing them.

[@tambrasmith9707]

I’m cooking figs and canning pears according to your recipe tonite

[@tambrasmith9707]

I just came in from planting Texas cream peas today

[@catherineshiddengarden2596]

The leaves makes great tea. Tastes like green tea. The figs you have do not have the fig wasps. Only certain verities of figs in California needs the wasps. Yours in a common fig which there are 1000 of verities.

[@katywrightgallery6523]

Which varieties need the wasp?

[@beulahacreshomestead1927]

Very interesting! I have a very small fig tree and I'm so glad I learned these things today! Thanks!

[@KimAtHomesteadDaze]

I have never tasted figs as I live in the north. Those look delicious!

[@monettecarole]

good morning. coffee brewing. woke up late. Thank you for your video. It is like having coffee with your best friend neighbor.

[@ruthspillman546]

Wow!!! This vedio is so timely!!! I picked figs yesterday and found this latex was turning my skin red!!! I am allergic to it, LOL!!! I was so shocked. I have picked figs since I was a child and this is a first for me all the rain must have made it worst. I can hardly wait to see all the ways I can preserve these!!! Thank you both and God Bless You!!!

[@elizabethjohnson475]

Great idea! I'm watching my tree here in far north California!

[@tracyflenner]

Those figs look delicious. I have the video saved so if I ever get figs from my tree I can do this. It seems God likes to put random things in my yard. A couple years ago it was a fig tree that I thought was a weird looking weed at first. A few years before that was a big elderberry bush. Yesterday I found a white oak sapling in my front yard. ❤️

[@karenwalker4764]

All the fig trees froze here in central Texas this winter , some are trying to come out from the roots but not doing real good .

[@sundownfarms2731]

Good morning Danny and Wanda 🌄☕🌻Thank you for sharing ❤Have a blessed day ✝️❤🇺🇸

I was so hoping you were going to say "start with a gallon of brandy" 😆

[@glendavertner8906]

This is so crazy, I just watched Shawn James on "My Self Reliance". He lives in the wilderness of Canada and is building a new homestead. He had a beautiful off grid homestead he built with old fashioned tools. Due to a new obnoxious neighbor moving in he sold that property and moved to this property. Today he planted a fig tree in his green house. Today you are canning figs. He also has another channel, Shawn James. Have a blessed day, stay safe and healthy 🙏🥰👍👌🙏✝️🙏🇺🇸🙏

[@samanthaB7712]

I watch him as well and not only was his reasoning on moving due to his obnoxious neighbor (Who is also a KZbinr) but building development started happening right out of his backdoor view ...Don't know who it is but Raspberry Rock also mentioned the situation as well. A curious mystery.

[@allyshivers3082]

Me too

[@neal0071234able]

There is nothing better than candied leathery figs to go with grits and eggs with biscuits ..

[@jtharp9265]

Thank you , we had 2 fig trees on last property but we lost our only Daughter April age 19 , an moved to a different home with land in 2016 Montgomery County, Texas . I want to plant a few , we love fig. With ur help & sweet Wanda im starting again have 16 container on my Deck & on land planted alot .thank u for all you porch talks etc . Our Daughter was/ very very religious she went to church every Wednesday & Sunday even church youth counseler, I miss her 24/7 ..God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 Josette Tharp

[@p.santos6694]

Final product looks really good

[@mariaw593]

My Grandma used to can figs that I climbed up into her fig trees and got for her. They were SOOO good! We had them with her fresh baked biscuits. Enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@belindagray3005]

Thank you for showing others how to can. One thing I noticed you didn't tell that there is suppose to be a rack for the jars to sit upon in the caner. I remember when my mom was canning and we couldn't find the rack (just a round piece of metal with holes in it to keep jars off bottom of caner). She folded a small bath towel and put in bottom making sure it touched all the way around then filled with water. She said it was to keep the bottom of the jars from getting too hot and exploding. Thought you might let beginners know this trick. I have often used this when I was water bathing just a few pints of something (caught on sale at store) in a small stock pot.

[@joeslaughter-rw3nx]

I have really enjoyed this video. Some very helpful info about canning this wonderful fruit. Thanks

[@davidroberie6572]

We do it a little different, but I'm going to try this way next year. Our old tree is looking bad. No figs last year and just enough this year to make 6 pints of strawberry fig jam. I went out and bought and planted 2 more fig trees.

[@coolpop19]

I love strawberry figs

[@hobbygardenforhealth6973]

Thank you so much for this video. I just bought 2 fig trees yesterday. I didn't know I could water bath can them. 🙂

[@samanthaB7712]

omg, I can't wait for my two fig trees to get this big. It's now August in Texas and my figs are ripening and they are so delicious. They actually taste a little like good wine....blu cheese here I come....lol!

[@yamamccarty8783]

Thank you Miss Wanda for sharing your figs canning recipe with us. If people wants the recipe all they have too do is write down this blogs and go back and watch it again. God bless the both of ya

Thanks so much y’all! Such a great video! Our figs are just ripening now and it’s my first year canning!

Good morning Danny & Wanda! My Grandma (Mommie) used to make fig jelly for us and it was the best ever! GOD bless you two!

[@robinbrown378]

Gracious, Wanda! Those figs are gorgeous! I've only seen fig preserves. The ones you canned seems like the way to go! Thank you. Saving this video for future reference.

[@norcalgal1876]

I canned a ton of figs last year, (just a figure of speech 😉) I had three different kinds of figs and just canned them all together. I used a half strength lite-syrup recipe because I’m like Danny and want to taste the fruit. They turned out beautifully!

[@martadefranco6072]

Beautiful fig tree !!😊

[@brackxexpressionist]

Thank y’all both for the fig, tour and process… For a newbie, it sure helps

[@janhatchett7834]

I used to have a neighbor who let me pick figs. We loved putting then up. We planted a fig tree last year of our own. I can’t wait to have figs I can put up and share with froends!

[@AlohaAv]

Thank You so much. You both made my day brighter.

[@melodyclark4347]

This is perfect timing as my fig appears ready to yield a bumper crop. I'm excited about your method. It all seems easy peasy. Thank you and God bless you.

[@ashleymcdonald2239]

I have a huge pear tree , every year it is jam packed with pears, and every year before they have time to get ripe and big enough to pick, some critter comes and takes every last one of them. I don't mind sharing, but there is none left every year!!🌍✝️❤️

[@blueskies6475]

The critters are humans.

[@karenhwtt]

Pears need to be picked before they are ripe. They ripen from the inside out. A local extension service can pressure test your pears . Store them in flats or boxes for some time before eating.

[@lindaortega1443]

Looks delicious. Thank you for such an interesting topic.

Second year of having figs here in central AZ, and still have a lot of jam, so this first harvest I made brandied figs..omg, they are soooo good. Can be used in cakes, quickbreads, sauces, over ice cream, in yogurt, and for gifting. I'm now wanting to make fig candy!

[@GinaSiska]

I asked Ms Wanda about the wasps in figs because my daughter is freaked out about that. I told my daughter it means more figs for me, lol. I have one tree, black mission, and I pick & eat them as soon as they start drooping 😉. Thanks Danny!

[@jamescaldwell9608]

Figs only have the wasps inside of them if you live in certain areas of southern California, the Mediterranean, or the Middle East in climates that don't freeze. Frosts kill the fig wasp. All figs grown in the US outside of some parts of Southern California are self pollinated and have never had a wasp inside them.

[@IMOO1896]

As I’m watching this I’m slicing figs to dehydrate. I’m picking every few days to dehydrate, this is my 3ed round. So we pick as the ripen. Not going to volume, but if I change my mind to can, I’ll go by this technique. Many thanks.

[@candacethompson2521]

Oh my.. looks so good..thank you

[@blessedbloominghomestead9134]

Those figs are so pretty!!

[@southtexassue6666]

We eat our canned figs on top of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for breakfast. Also.. sometimes I ad a small jar or a few TBLSP of apricot jam to my syrup to flavor it... makes the figs taste fantastic!! GREAT VIDEO WANDA !!

That latex from the figs can turn milk into cheese! If you add 15 drops to 1 L of whole milk that has been heated. It will turn into cheese and then you just strain the rest through a cheesecloth.

My dad's fig tree used to take up half the back yard, but a hurricane 🌀 took it out years ago. I just planted one in a half plastic drums this March and it's doing well. An early freeze killed half of the top, so it's branching well. Do you know how to dehydrate figs?

So you leave a 1" head space. The no name lids tend to rust over time versus the name brand lids and are a bit thinner. You don't notice it until you remove the lid in canned goods over two years canned.

Thanks for that tip. I am going to use mine for vacuum sealing.

[@farmerbob4554]

Thanks for the video. Always looking for something to do with a bumper crop of figs. Unless you’re in certain areas of California there are no fig wasps. Your figs are “common” figs like brown turkey or Celeste as opposed to Smyrna figs that do require the wasp for pollination. Common figs are parthenocarpic (self-pollinating) and are perfectly delicious fruit.

[@katywrightgallery6523]

Which areas of California? I'm in southern CA, zone 10b

Although the fig tree in my yard, not quite as big as yours. The fruit on it was as big as baseball’s ( not quite ) but very big. So I’m thinking they were a different fruit( species), but I’m not telling a fib . They were every bit three times as big as yours. That was my house in Keystone Heights, Florida. Maybe you can tell me what kind, they were big and purple. Again no lie.
