  • Hebe,

    I’m going to barbecue. Summer really is coming …

    Do you have figs yet? I have figs; golfball-sized green figs. In the glasshouse. I have high hopes for them after last summer’s fig envy induced by PAS.

    Not even close. A month or two yet.

    Ah. I've never heard of glasshouse figs.

    They don't keep, so either eat 'em fresh off the tree, or identify a a preserving day. My fig chutney -- recipe here – is bloody excellent.

    The other champion recipe is barbecued figs. Halve the figs, push a nugget of goat cheese into each half, then wrap each half with a strip of pancetta (or, more realistically, streaky bacon) and cook them on the hot plate. Incredible.

    Well these COULD take a month. They are in the glasshouse because the glasshouse had to go in that spot, where the fig tree is. So the tree stays: seems to like it.

    Seventeen figs, mind. Not much call for preserving!
