I use the vinegar for salad dressings and sauces, really yummy!
For pesto I use basil, pine nuts, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and a little heavy cream.
Super easy, quick, and totally delicious!

Enjoy your figs. When I was a littel girl we had a fig tree. I miss them and you see them rarely in the stores. If you do see them they are outrageously expensive. I am the only one in the family that likes them. I don't think anyone else has tasted them, just think they would enjoy one. How do they know?

Thanks..kshe95girl. I'll have to try that, sounds really good. Picked more toma. today.

Thanks nita. I gave the ones I picked today to the kids. My SIL hates fig newtons but he likes fresh figs. I have plenty more coming on. I got the pectin so I could make some no sugar grape jelly or jam.

You guys all have fantastic garden weather! We FINALLY have a heat wave going on: picked japanese long red radish, bunch onions, and FINALLY see all the seeds I've planted over the last four months daring to get their heads above the ground! good luck!
