As I mentioned in my post about fig jams, I don’t like the texture of figs. They have an amazing flavor but they are fuzzy. It is hard for me to eat anything that is covered in fur.
If you think you don’t like figs, try cooking them down and just using the juice. You can use the juice in beverages or in other baked goods. I also use the juice to make fig syrup for pancakes and waffles.
For instructions on how to make the juice easily, you can read EFFORTLESS FRUIT JUICE - NO PEELING & NO SEEDING
