What a sweet video! I bought some fresh figs from a neighbor and I have more that I can consume! I want to make some jam, so here I am! Also, she sold me a 1’ tall cutting from her tree last fall. I planted it and it’s almost 5’ tall now. No fruit yet, but maybe this fall. I think I’ll call my tree MeeMaw!
I was born and raised in the South, and fig jam is one of the things I miss the most. We strung old aluminum pans (the kind pie crusts come in) and ran a bit of rope to the house. When the birds and squirrels got to stealing the fruit we could reach out the back door and pull that rope. The pans would flutter and twinkle, and the varmints would scatter. Wasn't fool proof but it did slow them down. Love figs straight from the tree, too.
Was over at a neighbors yesterday standing under the shade of a fig tree full of figs. She told me I could have all I wanted that she had gotten all she would use. I'd never done anything with figs before and am not crazy about eating them right of the tree. Checked notifications and saw this. Guess I'll be out in 100 degree SC heat picking figs. Thanks Buck. And I mean that.
My mama makes quite a bit of jam, seals it and throws it in the freezer...she'd have a lot of wasted figs, otherwise. I for one love to eat figs right off the tree, which is a taste I acquired only in the past few years. For years and years I couldn't get over my association of figs with the dreaded Fig Newton, arguably the least satisfying of all cookies (I decided this at a very young age).
I can't even tell you how excited I was to see this video pop up! I just bought me 2 different variety of fig trees this past week. Not sure how long it will take for me to get enough figs to make fig jam but I will be saving this video for future fig jam making. Yours and Mama Redbuck's recipes has never failed me. :)
Hi from Australia. I have made fig jam using several different recipes. all not so good. Used this recipe today, so simple and worked a treat. and its yummy. thanx for sharing. Linda B
Great recipe. Very similar to how I make my jams. It's always good to make jam. We've quite a fair bit of fruits from the garden and end up making a ton of different jams each year. Lovely to tie us over for the winter - and great during the summor. I myself am quite fond of a small bowl of lactose free yoghurt with a bit of Jam in it stirred. As a small desert. Nom nom nom.
Thank you for sharing both the receipe, the wonderful picking experience and the presence of such sweet woman. So glad I found this tutorial, as I just picked fresh figs from my own fig trees today!
I just made this !! So easy and delicious. I too don't like a lot of sugar so I used way more honey and less refined sugar . I'm excited to play with this recipe.
We just bought a home on 4 and a half acres with several big beautiful fig trees and I can't wait to try out this recipe! Your mom is so adorable, I love her! 😊 ❤️ Can you also can this jam to preserve it longer? Thank you so much for this sweet video and recipe!!
What a gem of a video with your mama. I loved it. I have a young fig tree and i can't wait to get a real harvest from it. I bought two pounds of figs last night and I can't decide if I want to make this fig jam or caramelized figs!! I think I'd better buy some more before they are out of season!! Thank you for sharing your sweet mama, and for the recipe :)
Omg. This video made me so happy. My little mamaw had a fig tree and we used to do the exact same thing. Oh the memories this brought back. Thank you for this.
Awesome recipe, Chef Buck. Those figs look so fresh and sweet. The way Chef Mama described everything and taught us was very cool. Thank you so much for sharing this with us :) Have a nice weekend!!
@@ChefBuckRecipes Yes, Chef. The outdoors looked beautiful in this video. I feel bad for squirrels too! I think squirrels will like the Fig jam as well.
I love you meemaw! Next time try adding a little lemon or lime to enhance the flavor of the fig. The acidity is very tasty and breaks up the sweetness a bit and preserves it longer ❤️ especially when making large batches of fig jam/preserves
yeah....Mama's having a bumper fig crop this year--2 years in a row now!--usually she has a good fig year and then the trees don't do as well the following summer...she must be living right
Thanks for the video. I wasn't 100% on what I can do with figs asside frome eating as-is. I love fresh figs, but generally we don't have any where I live. I just got a celeste fig tree for my patio in the frozen wastes of Northern Wisconsin. I can't wait for the harvest next summer to try this out!
Great video! What variety of fig is this? And the USDA zone please? I have two fig shrubs in the pots but want to put them in ground but I am scared winter will get them!
Years ago, while living in the West Valley, LA. CA. I ha a large Fig tree growing, but the squirrels weren't the problem, I was. I was always eating the ripe Figs before anyone could pick and make anything with them . . . LOL.
Thank you! I finally found someone with the same fig tree. We got to beat the deer. The tree in our yard is large and old still produces. I didn't know what to do with all the figs. (Not complaining never had one fresh 'till the other day. awesome fruit)
The recipe was exactly what I was looking for but I have a suggestion for the cameraman, you’re Mema would have really appreciated you helping pick figs instead of running and getting a beer and when she suggested getting buttermilk she would’ve been proud of you if you would’ve said sure I’ll run down and do that right now instead of saying oh I’ll have toast tomorrow. Filming for TH-cam is fun there’s no doubt about it , but please serve your grandmother she deserves it!
I came across a simple fruit sauce of pureed strawberries mixed with fig jam for ice cream or for pound cake. I also saw fig jam spread on rustic Italian bread slices with arugula, prosciutto and asiago.
It's a fine line between squirrels and humans and Mama Redbuck knows that for sure. My parents have several suet feeders and my dad made homemade suet. The feeder is right outside my window and the squirrels love it more than the birds lol
my mom and dad used to have suet feeders, too...I guess that was mostly my dad's thing 'cause we don't have them anymore...mama throws seed down for the squirrels now, mostly to distract them from the bird feeders
does anyone have an answer for what a fig tastes like? I have no idea how to describe a fig taste. I just asked CG and she acted like she was about to answer, but now she's just thinking, so she doesn't know what to say either :^)
mama gets so many figs off of her tree, she has to figure out something simple to do with them....I love to eat figs right off the tree, but they don't keep for very long as whole fruit
Ordered a fig sprout off the interweb planted it in april 2018 ,that fall it was 6 ft. tall . It's now sept. 2019 and it is 10 ft. tall with 50+ figs ready to harvest ............
When it comes to figs, Mama is a lot faster than the squirrels :^) ...hope everybody has a great weekend!
You go, Mama! Thanks for sharing your precious mom with us, Buck!
thanks for watching....I wish I could get my mama in every video :^)
Why you didn't help her!!!??!!!
😂😂

Your mama is such an angel. Love this video and the jam looks amazing!
thanks...she's the best cook I know

What a sweetheart. Reminds me of my mom.. rest her soul. LUCKILY she planted two fig trees in the yard 14yrs ago. 😁

I always enjoy your mom's cooking! I love her fig tree!

My mom ends up freezing most of her jam, especially for years like this when she gets so many figs...I can eat a lot, but only so much in a day!
Just made this right now, can’t wait to try in the morning😁
Do you try the recipes ?
Followed this step by step and Mama’s fig jam really is the best! Thanks

Really nice, thank you for the recipe
Omg. This video made me so happy. My little mamaw had a fig tree and we used to do the exact same thing. Oh the memories this brought back. Thank you for this.

Awesome recipe, Chef Buck. Those figs look so fresh and sweet. The way Chef Mama described everything and taught us was very cool. Thank you so much for sharing this with us :) Have a nice weekend!!
thanks...it was a beautiful day for being in the yard...I feel just a little bit sorry for the squirrels (just a little)
@@ChefBuckRecipes Yes, Chef. The outdoors looked beautiful in this video. I feel bad for squirrels too! I think squirrels will like the Fig jam as well.
Thank you mama! First year harvesting figs and I can't wait to make my first jam
I appreciated this so much ! How sweet
Good looking fig, fig really tasty, we have couple of fig varieties in our garden too
Fig Jam and some real" cheese that smells " wallnuts bits on a crostini and some red in the glass is pure magic ,,have a great weekend i sure will :)

LYving Deliciously me too! 🤤
Go get one they're pretty cheap unless you want one that's already mature
I just made this recipe with my white figs came out so delicious thank you
I love you meemaw! Next time try adding a little lemon or lime to enhance the flavor of the fig. The acidity is very tasty and breaks up the sweetness a bit and preserves it longer ❤️ especially when making large batches of fig jam/preserves
Very nice. I am going to try to make some today. I don't have 40 figs ripe but I have enough to make a little that I can use with baked brie.
Thank you Mima! Trying out the recipe now. ❤
Finally had enough figs this year to try the recipe! It was fantastic!

How long will the jam last in the fridge without preservatives?
The alarm beeping made me smile. Thank you for sharing this by the way.
Great video! What variety of fig is this? And the USDA zone please? I have two fig shrubs in the pots but want to put them in ground but I am scared winter will get them!

fig jam is what my mama always does with figs.
I bet this would make some good stuffed french toast
I bet it would...stuffed french toast is one of my favorites
Mama Redbuck!!! I have missed you! Tell your son to help you get your own channel! I'll be your first subbie!!
I'd love to see that! I know my mama mostly goes on youtube to figure out how to fix her lawnmower
Absolutely Fantastic ❣️
So sweet to have a family treasured recipe. Yum 😋
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
it's a pretty easy way to use up a bunch of figs, for sure
@@ChefBuckRecipes Thank you and God Bless You for Sharing Recipe. Love figs. ♥️Tamson
Thank you for the technique making them right now! 🙂
Mama Redbuck is the best!
yes...although the squirrels might disagree
I'm going to try to make the jam today! Thank you Mema❣️
Loved this video thank you for sharing I have some fresh figs I am going to try her recipe 😘👍She is so sweet
I am going to cook some fresh figs today. How much honey was added?
How can I plant a fig tree l live in Oklahoma, does fig grow here in okla.?
Love fresh figs, wash them & eat them ! Then preserve them ! Bake with them, OMG DELICIOUS !! Fig jam came out, what appears to be perfect !!
Did you try the recipes?

I wish someone would talk to my son like that! He needs to respect his mama more better:(
very nice
Huge Mama fan. CB” you pick the figs , I’ll get a beer’
I'd just be in her way :^)
I came across a simple fruit sauce of pureed strawberries mixed with fig jam for ice cream or for pound cake. I also saw fig jam spread on rustic Italian bread slices with arugula, prosciutto and asiago.
I have those same plates!
Made this jam and it was delicious. Question for this type of jam since we let it cool for a couple of hours, do we need to sterilize
the jars??
I love it without spices like some people use or lemon!! Just the fig taste!!!
MAMA , is such a sweet sweet lady .. Thx Chef Buck and Thank you Mama for the crash course in jammin ....
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Looks awesome 👏
Love watching your videos. There always so soothing and homey feeling 😊
Thank you! Very helpful
I have never added Honey so will try it in coming weeks .Thanks .
I have those same plates I bought in the early 90's!!!!!!
She is so cute!! Glad I came across this video. I will be using this recipe Thank you!
Does the burned toast make the jam taste better?
Gracias por Compartir
gracias por ver la receta
How long does this last in the fridge
Thank you for this recipe, I bought fresh figs to make fig rolls only to realise you need dry ones so fig jam it is!
