Early hints of fall mean it’s time to take advantage of the fresh figs available and incorporate this sweet fruit into your cooking and baking as much as you can. Different varieties of figs are in season as early as mid-June and can hang around until October, if we’re lucky. Some popular varieties are Black Mission and Brown Turkey, which have a purple to black skin; Sierra, which is creamy yellow in color; and Tiger, which is light yellow with dark green stripes and a bright purple-red interior. Fresh figs can be stored at room temperature in a single layer for several days or refrigerated for two to three days, but making our Preserved Figs lets you enjoy them for weeks to come.
