I also read that you can use dried figs if you soak them in hot water first to puff up.<br /><br />See:<br />http://Johanna Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268918125129111587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365021743044410861.post-1093802772746530652010-05-11T11:56:54.392+12:002010-05-11T11:56:54.392+12:00Thanks so much for another excellent post!

Do you ripen them, or use them green?<br /><br />I tried fig ice cream once, from dried, imported figs, but it didn't really work. I chopped the figs and they were just hard lumps and not very tasty. Did you blend yours?<br /><br />Thanks for the networking reviews, they all look very interesting. <br /><br />lus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
