What do you use them for after they are frozen? I froze them like this before but when thawed they became a mushy mess.
Hi Gina!
I used them for fig jam, fruit leathers, in smoothies, as a dog treat, and as chicken treats.
Hope that give you some ideas!
I have frozen figs they go great with rhubarb crumble with a creamy custard! Our favourite dessert.
Cook them down, cool off and place in freezer bags. Then pull out a bag to be used for like jam, a sauce etc.
Once the figs are frozen & I make preserves later on do I need to thaw them or just cook according to recipe & proceed with making the preserves? We have been unable to locate any jars/lids/rings right now due to pandemic so I want to save fruit until stores are restocked. Thank you!!!
