I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Fig Jam

Washed and ground figs
1/2 as much sugar as figs
1 Tbsp. lemon juice for each two cups of figs

Combine ingredients and cook until thick, about 2 hours. Put in hot clean jars.  Seal.  Process 20 minutes in boiling water.  For flavored jam, add 1 package Jell-O in desired flavor for every four cups figs when cooking.  Count Jell-O as part of sugar.
