The figs are coming...

I wasn't sure if the figs on the tree in our backyard were ripe until I noticed the sugary syrup that hardened as it had dripped from the opening at the base of some of them. So, I picked a few. Ilan went crazy over them and we both had a couple. Today I scooped the pulp out of a couple of them and mixed it with some plain yogurt. Yum. I can't wait to find other ways to use them. Let me know if you have any ideas. Typically they ripen in stages, so you don't have a bunch of ripe figs all at one time. I think we'll have figs for the rest of our time here.
