Making fig bars...

 There are so many figs ready, Garden Girl and I


.

decided to make a pan of fig bars. Mashed a layer of figs in the bottom of the baking pan and topped with a flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, pecans and butter crust.

 Too much to eat now, I will cut and wrap for a treat in winter. Low sugar topping because the figs are so ripe. I need to make fig vinegar and maybe fig jam. I like them fresh the best. They are a real treat with some strong goaty cheese on crustinis. My daughter gave me a fig recipe book, Fig Heaven, by Marie Simmons. Time to turn its pages again.
