My thoughts:
I've acquire a large fan of fruit pickles since I've started canning. You don't run across them a lot inwards the stores, but they are tardily to brand at home. If you lot don't desire to operate through the hassle of canning them to shop you lot tin simply refrigerate them instead. I used figs I picked inwards our ain backyard which is e'er fun, but I didn't accept many then I made a really small-scale batch. You could double this without whatsoever occupation for a larger yield. I added tons of spices as well as port for a richer season that pairs wonderfully amongst cheese. Or simply swallow them as-is or on a panini, whatsoever identify that needs a fruity kick!
