East Texas Fig Preserves submitted by Marilyn

Family Story: Every summer, my Grandmother would fix Fresh Fig Preserves and I can still smell the sweetness. I was fortunate to be there on several occasions and was always gifted with a jar of the preserves. We live in the North now and the figs here are different than the ones my Grandmother grew in East Texas.
