It came in just as I was leaving for work. Again, thank you Dave. I'll be sure to send you some candied figs or some jam once it starts producing. I'll figure something out.

May I ask how you make candied figs?  

Plant looks good candy sounds good.

thanks for sharing

Tex, so you would keep boiling them in sugar every day for an hour for a week?  That is quiet a bit of work.  Do you use fresh fruits or dried?

Glad to see it made it to you in good shape Tex

I was looking at some recipes for candied figs a couple of weeks ago , I'll try and post there recipe see if it's the way you do it. 

Enjoy the tree, Dave

Too much work for me, I will stick with fig/strawberry jam. It took 1.5 hours and I have some everyday, either on toast with PB or on a bagel w/ PB. Yum.

Hey Tex (and Chivas) I use an old south american recipe my cousin gave me for candied figs, it is 100 figs plus 200-250 grams of sugar, cook on a very low flame for 2-3 days, I turn it off, give it a rest, and back on several times a day, but not for a week.
