Syrup of figs?! :lol:

We have a fig tree :D
With figs :D
It came from Lidl last year, a baby, and now has seven figs on it, we're so excited :D

I love them - I've once done a posh dinner for Bb's birthday with a fig, & goat's cheese starter, on a bed of poncy salad, with a raspberry vinegar dressing...

But there is a whole figgy tart thing, that would use a lot...will go have a look >>>>>>

Jamie Oliver took a watermelon to a party, in his first (I think) TV series, that he'd injected with vodka :D
