I can because I don't have to "spend the energy" to keep them after
making them. It costs $$ to run the freezer, a jar sitting on the shelf
costs nothing to keep.
BC> Where do you get your figs?
From the fig tree Steve planted in our side yard some years ago. It took
several years to produce any, then just got a handful or so for a couple
of years but is now the size to put out a good amount every year.
