I paid half a euro last year in Angra, Terceira for a fig. I also have a recipe for jam made with figs that has a strawberry flavor. Anyone interested, email me privately. Celeste, Hayward, CA

My sister's daughter in law from Santa Maria, now from the East Coast, was visiting here this summer. My sis has a huge fig tree in her back yard. Lucia went out every morning and picked the figs and ate them right off the tree and she taught my sis how to eat them. She told my sis she had to pay $1 each for them back East. Prior to her coming, my sis let these figs fall to the ground or picked them and threw them away. This fig tree gives a great many figs so I figure she has a gold mine in her backyard:-). We are planning on learning how to make fig bars next year.
