FigsJam, a fig tree-to-jar journal

Field notes

The site maps a seasonal preserve project onto a substantial information architecture: fig biology and variety pages lead into ripeness, storage, garden guidance, jam technique, recipes, and journal entries. Its process specifies morning picking, keeping skins for colour, a brisk boil with sugar and lemon, cold-plate set testing, and measured jar headspace. The material names four varieties—Chicago Hardy, Brown Turkey, Black Mission, and Kadota—and distinguishes breba from main crops.
