Imagine strolling along South Africa's Western Cape coastline and coming across vibrant succulents showcasing bright blossoms. Meet the sour fig, or "vygie" as we fondly call it. These tangy, juicy fruits aren’t just for casual beach snacking; they're a staple in South African kitchens, frequently transformed into delicious jams and preserves. Beyond their delightful taste, sour figs have served as traditional remedies for various ailments, ranging from sore throats to skin concerns. At Clara’s Barn, we use them to glaze fish before grilling it over an open flame.
