LIFE AT CONTENT: Homemade Fig Preserves

I've never been much of a cook. But, even before we bought Content. I always imagined myself in a kitchen. I love the idea of wearing a ruffle pipped apron and effortlessly flitting from fridge, to stove. Unfortunately, for John, I wasn't dreaming of producing elaborate steak dinners, kept warm for his grand entrance at the end of a hard day. Rather, I had my mind set on making pretty cakes, dozens of perfectly golden cookies and, for some strange reason, canning and jarring.
