Southern Cast Iron

Fall for Figs

DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF FIGS are in season as early as mid-June and can hang around until October, if we’re lucky. Popular varieties include Black Mission and Brown Turkey, which have purple to black skin; Sierra, which is creamy yellow in color; and Tiger, which is light yellow with dark green stripes and a bright purple-red interior. Fresh figs can be stored at room temperature in a single layer for several days or refrigerated for two to three days, but making our Fig Preserves (page 51) lets you enjoy them for weeks to come.
