Cog Hill Family Farm that's an awesome homestead box! Our figs froze this past winter so we won't get any until next year. :( We did get some small figs last year and they were delicious!
Just started watching ya all. Come across ya all's channel 2 weeks ago while watching Adler and grandpa of Adler farms, Farm Fam Walkers, Kepping it Dutch, ect. I love Peaches the pig. I never saw a more spoiled pig, lol. She got her own bed. Funniest thing I ever saw. 🤣 I'm binge watching all your videos. I'm loving you guys and all your doing. Oh ya, figs are one of my favorites too. Cherries is my favorite fruit.
This is the good old fashioned Southern way of making fig preserves!! This was great! My husband even loved watching it, cause fig preserves are his favorite. Thanks for being safe and showing the water bath canning. So important! Some folks on TH-cam just pour up hot preserves or tomatoes into a jar, seal and put on the counter. That water bath canning prevents botulism. Thanks again!!
That process is wonderful. Tomorrow I have to make Cosmo pickles no hot bread n butter. Making biker pickles that are cucumbers in habanero bread n butter. I do like that popping sound
OMGOODNESS! FIGS!! YUM! Those preserves look so delicious! I’m with you on loving Figs & Pears! Pear preserves are so delicious too! The figs at Cog Hill look so beautiful. Blessings...
My grandmother had a fig tree in her yard so every year we got fig preserves. Just wanted to say that down here in TX we loved eating them with peanut butter in sandwiches.
My granny also made “strawberry figs.” She’d add a box of strawberry jello (sprinkled over top of each gallon of figs) canning just like the plain ones. They were “the bomb.”
Awesome job on those figs! My canner has been running overtime this summer and I'll fire it up again this weekend. Didn't take Mrs. CH long to snag that cool apron! The Homestead Boxes are great! Lot of Hoss stuff featured. Don't you love that Hoss Over the Shoulder Harvest Bucket? Holds a ton and practically indestructible. (mine is 3 yrs old and I haven't hurt it yet, and that says a LOT!). Can't go wrong with Hoss Tools!
Now this is one fruit I’ve never eaten fresh. I really need to give it a try. Close as I ever come was a Fig Newton cookie as a kid. Hahahaha My Granny, Bless her heart, would eat them by the pack full! She loved them cookies. What does the fruit taste like? I KNOW it’s better than them cookies. (My Granny may not have agreed, God rest her sweet soul.) She’ll forgive me though. I know them preserves look AWESOME! And how timely was that Homestead box? That was sure perfect! Those Roo’s are awesome! Especially if you have a disability like me. Super handy! TFS Love, hugs and blessings ~Lisa
The fig tree in our yard is so full this year and I hate to waste the fruit. I'm going to try to find my Mama's strawberry fig recipe and give it a try. Thank you for giving me the inspiration! If I loved figs close to as much as you do I would try your recipe but I need the strawberry flavor ✌🏼Enjoy your harvest!
Great video, I love figs hard to grow here in Michigan but I have a few we get a small harvest from. One day maybe we'll have enough for preserves thanks for the recipe!
I've never ate figgs outside of Fig Newtons. This looks delicious, Jason. Thanks for the other recipe that you gave out. I would like to make some pickles as well as fig preserves.
Are fig trees are young yet and we are just planning them into the ground sometime this summer. I can't wait to make this recipe next year cuz it looks so delicious! I like that Harvest apron.
Love this. I cant wait to try this recipie. What do you serve with? Eat as a dessert or?? Thankyou so much for sharing this with us all. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.
Biscuits? I think your Version of Biscuits is different to here in Australia? Do you mean scones? I cant wait to try this. Love your videos btw. Keep up the great work.
I put figs and sugar in the cooking pot and let sit overnight on the stove. Then start cooking the next morning. I like my figs whole like you. I also eat off the tree as I pick. Be good.
my mom use to make strawberry preserves out of figs, I think she used strawberry jello, they tasted just like strawberry back 50 years or so ago when I was a kid.
We had a friend give us a bunch of figs off her tree as well but we ended up just eating them all...so good idea...I will do your way next time. Thanks for sharing!
Figs are in my top three. Did ya ever dry figs for snacks? From time to time you mention the in law suite next to you, would that be Mrs. Cog Hill or your immediate family or is that just a reference to the dwelling? Keep up the great job. And MariCarl, your growing like a weed in your garden you go friend.
Watch out for that fig tree sap if you ever go to cutting that sucker down! I had a friend that took out his fig tree. It looked more like the fig tree took him out, by the looks of his skin. It was all bubbly!
Are those Texas yellows? When we moved from Huntsville in 1977, we brought a cutting from our tree and over the years gave out dozens of cuttings from it.
I tried a fig tree here in salt lake, it burned up, or froze, or dried.. I have lots of apples, pears, peaches, apricot, getting some pluot and aprium, I also have hops and grapes. Why is it you always want to grow what you can’t grow in your area? When I first moved here, I planted a fern, and that poor thing looked like you took a blowtorch to it! I’m just now starting walnuts, (few are two yrs old, got four walnuts, those are in the fridge, I’m going to sprout them..!) and getting a couple hickory seedlings..
My mom has a HUGE fig tree and 2 huge apple trees....i can never get to them befor the birds and deer do though...I've literally picked apples with wild deer eating them at the same time 😂🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I'm in zone 6a and I have 3 Chicago hardy fig trees that die back and grow every year. We only get a small late season harvest but they are amazing. I'm working on getting a better over winter setup for them to get better and earlier growth out of them.
Man, I wish my fig tree would produce, this is the second year and I overwinter it indoors - had 2, one I planted outside and it died on me 😔 Do you grow lemons too???? Now I want some figs!!!
My mom was born and raised Jackson, Mississippi but my sister and I were born and raised L.A area (of all places!!). I've settled northeast but everyone since has passed so there's nobody to ask. Any recipes for these figs you'd care to share. I was gifted a small (and I mean small) fig "tree".
I used frozen figs and made strawberry fig preserves, plain fig preserves and whole fig preserves last night then 4 bags of 5 cup red plum and 2 bags of yellow plum juice and 8 half pint jars of plum butter. All last night as I was lamenting not being able to go to the Okie Expo. Y’all have fun! I have changed my pic and am posting(when I learn how) under Gotcha covered Upholstery. 😀

I agree, love both fig fresh and pear preserves! Only honey is tied with pear syrup on a hot biscuit!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very mild flavor...kinda hard to explain 😂. But they are delicious!
the sprouts are looking good!!
Thanks! We have certainly enjoyed the sprouts!! I put them on anything I can think of ;)
I'm a fig lover too. Bought one for my mom this year.
I'd like to see my cousin and aunt in enterprise alabama. Fingers crossed we can do our thing and make it happen
You made that whole canning process look so easy!
P.S the only Fig Ive ever had was in a Fig Newton...mmmm my favorite cookie!
Thanks for sharing, I love your family giving us easy instructions on recipes! Great fig hall- good eating on your bread 🥖 this fall and winter!! ❤️👍
Dude those Homestead Boxes are amazing! I love watching you open them! Im particularly jealous of your Roo Apron!

We make fig jam and love us some blue cheese stuffed bacon wrapped BBQ figs.....OMG decadent !!
Yummy! My favorite. Wait, my favorite is guava but fig is right there neck-n-neck. 👍
Figs are my favorite also. I have about 9 Fig trees, sooooooo!
BOOOOOOM!!!
Peaches is the chillest pig ever.
When we brought our five acres this year we have six young fig trees already on our land.
BOOM!!!

Fig leather is good too. Like strawberry leather just with figs. YUMMY!

👍👍👍👍
“One Big Ole Delicious Party” 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love it!
😊
Man.... that pig has the ideal life....never had figs before unless you count fig Newtons
They are delicious!
i think i need to invest in a fig tree. great video guys :)
Can never go wrong with a fig tree :)
Did the micro sprouts come in the 99 dollar box I like to get that basket there too lol
Oh yea....you can see them on our counter in this video :)
Thanks for sharing
Watch out for that fig tree sap if you ever go to cutting that sucker down! I had a friend that took out his fig tree. It looked more like the fig tree took him out, by the looks of his skin. It was all bubbly!
Hey Cog Hill Family that sure looks good! Would you consider selling some of those jars? 😆 I sure would buy one! 😆😆😆
:)
Thanks for dharing
Are those Texas yellows? When we moved from Huntsville in 1977, we brought a cutting from our tree and over the years gave out dozens of cuttings from it.
Not for sure....this was a friends grandparents house & they didn’t know...my guess was Celeste but not 100% certain. Thx!-Jason

Omg I can taste them now yummy
😊
Very nice 👍
❤️
You can make faux strawberry preserves from figs.
Boom!!!
You are the best
yes figs yah yah
What does putting lemon in the figs do to the preserves?
It adds a lil flavor but it also helps prevent the growth of bacteria as well
Love it 👍🏻Great vid!!!... but ya didn’t do the taste test (how’d’ya eat em? On toast, with cheese, what’s your fav? :@)
Never mind, just saw your reply to somebody asking the same thing lol.
They were still too hot to taste! But maybe we can do a homemade biscuit video & use the figs :)
How do i get my figs to grow bigger? Mine our small.
Is there any way, I wonder, you could mix pears and figs in some kind of jam, or do those two fruit not mix together well?
hmmmm...the only issue I would see is that you might have to cook the pears longer bc they are such a much harder & dense fruit vs the figs.
what homestead box package did you get?
It’s the pioneer package
So what do you do with figs after they're canned? They're still whole, so they're not used for jelly, or are they? Never had them.
We love putting them on homemade biscuits! But also awesome on ice cream
Does the fig ripen of the tree?
They do
My mom has a HUGE fig tree and 2 huge apple trees....i can never get to them befor the birds and deer do though...I've literally picked apples with wild deer eating them at the same time 😂🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I'm sooooo jealous cause I miss me some good fig perserves !!! Now for some homemade biscuits, umm slap you momma good eats.
YAS!!!!!
I love figs
Peaches wants to know when will she get some . You do know Peaches is the Cog Hill Farm official. taster.
😂😂😂
Have you ever tried doing cranberries on your farm, or do you need a big bog to do that?
Look at all that yummy...peaches loves her scratch and rubs...
🌻have a wonderful day🌻
:) thx Chele!
Oooo yummy 😋
That Ric Flair made me spit my drink all over my computer screen!!! LOLOLOL
WOOOOO
In Hawaii it hard to grow it
I have NEVER had a fig! I'm in zone 6a... is there any hope for me?
Yes! Figs grow really well in pots! You could plant one in a pot & bring it in when it gets too cold.
I'm in zone 6a and I have 3 Chicago hardy fig trees that die back and grow every year. We only get a small late season harvest but they are amazing. I'm working on getting a better over winter setup for them to get better and earlier growth out of them.
Very encouraging and helpful! Thank you! Did you purchase your fig trees locally or online?
MissTheresaDANCE got them locally
Man, I wish my fig tree would produce, this is the second year and I overwinter it indoors - had 2, one I planted outside and it died on me 😔
Do you grow lemons too????
Now I want some figs!!!
I do have a lemon tree but it has never produced, so I moved it this fall & cut it back a good bit. Hopefully I’ll have lemons one day!
Cog Hill Family Farm I heard it takes 5 years for a lemon tree to start production - mine tend to die before they reach that age, but I keep trying 😊
U better not open that homestead box without TIP!! 😂
Shhhhhhhhhh...don't tell him! :)
Which level of the Homestead Box are you getting?
Hey peaches what's going on, this is Vince from cold Chicago, I just thought I'd say hey to you.
Oh goody !
😊
Fo you just eat these as is or do something else with them?
We love them on homemade biscuits, but also good on cake or ice cream
I need a fig tree... * dreams *
Do you eat the stems?
We do leave the stems
YUMMY!!!
😊
I have a southern accent after watching this video 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
My mom was born and raised Jackson, Mississippi but my sister and I were born and raised L.A area (of all places!!). I've settled northeast but everyone since has passed so there's nobody to ask. Any recipes for these figs you'd care to share. I was gifted a small (and I mean small) fig "tree".
I bet it will not stay small for very long! We really love these on homemade biscuits! That is out fav thing to do with them
Here's hoping. Love homemade biscuits!!! Will do. First, of course, with other peoples', then with my own.
YUM!!!!
😊
I loved this oldie but Goldie and especially your clean shaved face
I used frozen figs and made strawberry fig preserves, plain fig preserves and whole fig preserves last night then 4 bags of 5 cup red plum and 2 bags of yellow plum juice and 8 half pint jars of plum butter. All last night as I was lamenting not being able to go to the Okie Expo.

I have changed my pic and am posting(when I learn how) under Gotcha covered Upholstery. 😀
I'm trying to reach through this video so I can get me some figs but it ain't working😣
😂😂😂😂
I wonder why Peaches is losing her hair?
They shed their hair typically once a year
I had no idea.
Brooke why are you wearing my shirt😉
😊
