Green Fig Preserves – A Greek Recipe
On November 1st, 2024 I uploaded a video on my YouTube channel showing a recipe that every fig owner should have: Preserving Green Figs.
Growing up in Greece, I found my parents’ visits to friends and relatives extremely boring and long. However, I enjoyed the treats they would serve, particularly the preserves made from unripened fruit. Fig preserves were a favorite of mine.
They would serve preserves on a tiny plate with a spoon. DELICIOUS!!
I have a variety of fig trees in my backyard, but some of the fruit never ripens. These green figs are not edible and are hard as a rock. What do you do with this fruit? Most people throw them out, but they don’t know that this is considered a crime in some countries. I made a YouTube video describing the process, and here is the recipe I followed to make green fig preserves. In the description of the video, you will find the list of ingredients.
