Not wanting to Hijack Bob's thread I started this one.

Last year I asked for recipes for a fig cookbook, the response was less than stellar but I have not given up.  I intend to start putting together a fig cookbook made up entirely of fig recipes.  My goal for release is Nov 15, 2013 so that it will be available for that certain holiday season.

I have done this kind of thing before and I would ask that if you have a recipe please send it to me VIA EMAIL as it will choke my PM inbox.

I have not discussed this with our favorite moderator but I am willing to share revenues with the Fig Foundation. That conversation will happen soon as I can get the sanity to put my thoughts down in some form.  It will have to be after the BIG FIG GIG as it is all consuming right now.

Possible title  - "A Big Figging Deal", copyrighted 2012.

Not really soliciting recipes right now but opinions will always be welcome.

Mock Strawberry Jam

Cut stems from figs; wash thoroughly and drain. Crush to pulp using potato masher. Place all ingredients in large pot, cook over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. Reduce heat and continue cooking for 45 minutes, stirring often. Yield: 4-5 pints.
