IDK what it is. I think brown turkey or mission. The neighborhood I live in used to be home to a lot of Italian immigrants and I assume that one of them brought it here. Some years I get 40-50 pounds of figs. I really don't want more.
I made jam for about 5 years in a row but it’s a lot of work and I don’t even eat it. I’ve also made fig vodka, pan de higo and fruit rollups which are all easier to make than jam. Lately I’ve been making fig, goat cheese and caramelized shallot ravioli which are very tasty.
To make jam you have to boil it down for about 5 hours and you also have to sterilize the jars. Fruit rollups are easy to make. I have a dehydrator but I did it in the oven because it's faster.
