Laura, one of our members, generously brought freshly picked peaches and her very own figgy fudge to the studio to share after practice and both were hits. She has an abundance of fruit trees in her yard and invited us to help pick some of that fruit while it’s just perfect! The peaches are divine and her figgy fudge was so delightful, we were all mmmmming with our eyes closed and I took her up on the picking party. It was a lovely half hour of sunset picking and chatting and I left with about 10 cups of figs.

Which is perfect for perfecting a Laura’s Figgy Fudge recipe! Based on the guidelines Laura shared, I’ve made two batches now and, yep, they’re nearly as good as Lauras. Zero added sugar with no stevia or monk fruit — figs are sweet enough all on their own!
