I prefer these fig bars because they have a crunchier texture and fuller flavor! Instead, these are crispy and crunchy on the outside, with a fresh fig jam center. While most people think of a Fig Newton when they think of fig cookies or, these are a little different. The fig jam can be frozen, meaning you can make these all year long. So these homemade fig bars are my favorite way to make sure none of the fresh figs go to waste. (Trust me, I’ve tried – I LOVE fresh figs!) When you’re faced with hundreds of figs ripening at once, you cannot possibly eat them all fast enough. When the figs start to ripen, I head over with my giant bucket and they send me home with pounds and pounds of figs.Īnyone who is lucky enough to get fresh figs knows how quickly they spoil. These trees are huge and produce hundreds and hundreds of figs each season! While our fig tree is still juvenile (it produced a whopping four figs last year), we are lucky to have friends with huge fig trees in their city backyards. Rumor has it that many of these fig trees were smuggled into the country in the suitcases of Italian immigrants, bringing a piece of their homeland with them. One of my favorite things about living in South Philly is the abundance of fig trees. Skip the store-bought and make your own delicious fig bars at home! These Homemade Fig Bars feature a jammy fig filling sandwiched between a crunchy, chewy oatmeal crust.
