When my Brown Turkeys come outside after a greenhouse winter, they are fragrant too. The scent reminds me of Italy! Tuscany. Have yet to find a soap that matches it, but l'Occitane candle is close. Nothing like the real thing though, makes me so happy to start each new season.

I make and sell fig jam. I use enough lemon juice to get pH 4.6, and you do need some sugar so that the preserves are safe (sugar reduces the "available water" -something that can be measured- for growth of contaminants). I use Brown Turkey and the preserves taste honeyed (but it's just the figs). I also make and sell fig tarts on pâté sucrée with marscapone cream. It's a good two weeks of tart making; I sell them for $15 each. You can wash and freeze figs destined for preserve-making; this helps you manage a bumper crop. Family loves fig pizza, and the club where my son was cook bought some just for that purpose.
