Granny Byer made beautiful fig perserves. Every fig
had to be perfect. Daddy said the secret to the color
was lemon juice. She never used an actual recipe, but
this is close. Jeannine bought two fig trees for me a
couple of years ago. They don't bear enough fruit to
perserve yet, but I can't wait until they doo. Granny
Singletary had a really big fig tree in the backyard in
Louisiana. She would serve fresh figs for breakfast!
