Four trays of figs ready to go into the freeze dryer.

One tray has a little corner carved out for some mashed elderberries.
FIgs and Elderberries
Not bad for a first year crop since we just got those bare root elderberries in February. I’ve already picked several cups and will probably get several more cups. I will boil the dried elderberries in the fall and make elderberry syrup. I would love to make jelly too but syrup is my priority. Maybe next year I’ll get enough to make syrup and jelly.

Looks very good. Are these the same figs that you were wondering if they’d ripen? If so, hurrah!!

How was the #6 load results? Did it take as long as you thought?
