One of the pleasures I get in life is sharing the fruits of my labour.
Whether it be woodworking, or geocache creation, or - like the Seagnoid - jam making.
One of my favourites is FIG JAM.
The coordinates of this cache will take you to a fig tree that I discovered on public land in my neighbourhood.
Here you can collect fruit when in season and possibly try to make FIG JAM yourself?
My favourite recipe can be found on the Chelsea Sugar website
Ripe, plump figs are among the world's most succulent fruits, with a honey-like flavour and lush flesh.
Cooking them into jam highlights their natural sweetness and delicious floral and earthy notes.
FIG JAM is amazing on a cheese board (especially with blue cheese which I adore!), on a sweet pizza, swirled through a muffin batter, or just as a normal jam on toast.
In fact, fig jam is so easy you'll mostly need to just sit back and let the fruit do its thing.
When the trees are giving their all grab them and get jamming.
They grow with the fruit pointing up, and are ripe when they droop over so that the fruit points down.
