Yum. My sister-in-law used to make fig jam; there was a fig tree in the backyard of her old house (this is in San Antonio, where I grew up) and oh, man, I can still taste both the fresh figs and the preserves she made out of them... I love living in New England -- the seasons, the regional foods, the produce we can grow here in summertime. But fig trees wouldn't make it here; the winters are too cold. Makes me a little envious, for a moment, of people like you (and my southern family) who live now in places where figs grow. :-) Fig jam! Yum.
