| I'm glad you like the idea! I've had a lot of fun with this recipe too, as you can tell. :-)
My mom used to make freezer jam with rhubarb and strawberry jello. Figs would make great jam, too, but I've never had more fresh figs than I could just eat outright... maybe someday my little tree will grow bigger... |

| We are big into fried green tomatos. Never enough left to make anything else.
A neighbor has the fig tree/bush. My mother was our neighbor for the last 20 years of her life. No jam since she went on to glory. |

| It is pretty tasty and the kids won't know the difference! Now if someone could try a sugar free version for us older kids...

| Bluekat, we've definitely got to experiment with that! I want to try adding some kool-aid powder to mine this year also (not with more sugar, just unsweetened powder) to see if that cuts the sweetness a little. |
