.....after we harvest figs... we are thirsty











Fresh Fig and Banana Milkshake

6 ounces whole milk
1 frozen banana, cut into chunks
4 fresh mission figs, quartered (remove stem first)
1-2 teaspoons honey (optional)
Place all ingredients in a blender; process until smooth.
Serves two......but better not sharing!

Our Black Mission Fig orchard ......incredible production of fruit each day. Planted about three years ago and are now about 9 feet tall. We harvest each day in the cool of the morning so that the "milk" of the tree wont make us itch. You might just ask how many pounds do we get each day.

Today...it was 60+ pounds. Harvest has been going on short of a month. Frankly...I never expected such a robust and plentiful crop. Next month we are ordering 30 more trees for installation this winter.

That means bigger milkshakes
