Every now and again I check it, stir, and skim any surface accumulation. I told you all about how I do this about a year ago in a blog post, and so you can read the details there, with pictures. I’ll update this post with a few snaps (perhaps) a bit later.

It looks and sounds mouth watering. You know, I had to use your fig picture on my site because when I googled "fig picture" yours was the best. Lovely fig with a lovely hand. I hope you don't mind. Good site. ~Carolyn Thanks cvj for the great suggestion of fig jam! It looks and sounds mouth watering.

Here’s a phase diagram from that discussion, which made me laugh quite a bit: [...] [...] Well, I don’t need to do one of my long cooking posts about this just yet, since the Lab Lemming is concerned about these issues too, I noticed, and has gone to the trouble of preparing what looks like a careful study of the process (including the pitfalls) just in time for the beginning of the primary pie-making season (Thanksgiving, etc…).

I hear you, but I simply don't eat that much of anything in one sitting. And I love cooking....so why not? re: the IE browser issue- I changed nothing. This is why I am having difficulty diagnosing the problem. I recommend use of "reload" if it reappears. I'll try to review the issue one day.... Thanks, -cvj Hi!

A fig could never survive long enough around me to be jammed or otherwise prepared -- it would be gone, eaten raw, along with all its friends! Indigestion? So be it. A small price to pay for such delicacies. On a side note, your margins suddenly look OK in IE! Did you do something to the template or is it all the pictures having some beneficial side effect?

Another very quick -make 'em on the spot- recipe are Southern-style biscuits. In 20-25 minutes, you can whip up a batch and have them hot and ready to smear jam on and munch on. A source?
