Unfortunately those trees are now in heaven, several floods went over them and they weren't the strongest shape, plus I think borers got to them :( you've inspired me to start looking for somewhere at our new farm to put a couple of trees! We've definitely got the space for them, and how I'd love to be able to eat my own fresh home grown figs!

Yesterday I noticed that some of the figs on our tiny new potted tree (which was groaning under the weight of about 20 figs) were 'doing the droop'. For dessert I roasted them (cut in half) in a little butter with some freshly grated nutmeg, and we ate them with double-thick cream and a tiny drizzle of honey.<br />Somehow the roasting brought out the lovely red juices.
