Figs

I was given a recipe recently for Fig, Honey and Thyme Tart- it looked tasty and being keen to try my honey in recipes I decided to give it a try. However, I could not get my hands on any figs, I made the tart with blackberries as we have been picking them for some weeks. The tart was lovely. At the top of our garden we have had a Brown Turkey fig tree for a few years- it often tempts us with some tiny,green figs- but they never come to anything, dropping off way before they are ready.

So, imagine how suprised I was when I was checking on the bees and whether the apples were ready to pick,when I spied not one but two brown figs!!

They were soon eaten and were absolutely delicious!
