@ jdsfrance this thing is in syrup... this company makes the best fruit preserves. if you can find it, try their sour cherry!!! __________________ andreas-patras Patra Peloponnisos Greece zone..9a

take a look, This is a Greek recipe for unripe figs. It maybe what's in your jar?, It calls for vanilla, I'm surprised not lemon, What do you think? http://mamastaverna.com/baby-fig-spoon-sweet-sikalaki-gliko/ __________________ Soni GA. 7-8. seeking Galicia Negra, Bianchi Guido, Violette de Sollies, Emerald Strawberry

@ SoniSoni Yes thats it!!! ;-)) it calls for lemon (so the syrup will not turn to sugar... dry up) the vanilla is for flavor __________________ andreas-patras Patra Peloponnisos Greece zone..9a

If you like cherry and want to stick with figs, try Unk. Pastilliere. They taste like sour cherry for sure. __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal
