Kumquat marmalade! Made it once and it was great! Was visiting an older, now passed, relative in Thousand Palms at the time. Great citrus all around there. Meyer lemons.. red grapefruit, etc dude, are you a long lost relative or something?

My grandma's strawberry fig jam is the best on this planet.... A good fig jam is hard to beat. My grandparents had a huge fig tree that as a child I would climb and eat figs till I was sick. Grandma made the best fig jam I've ever had. When I lived in Northern Utah, every summer fresh raspberries from Bear Lake would show up. People would be hawking then on street corners. They made the best raspberry freezer jam I've ever had.

We use lots of jams/preserves for our prosciutto pizza base sauce.
Fig, peach habanero, pepper jelly, etc.

I tried some wild chokecherry picked from the rail bank, good taste, it did not set up well.

Never seen a fig in the wild. Didn't know they grew here.
Thats cool.
Grandma made a date preserve that she would use for date cookies.
Course dates dont grow here either....
