I buy mine in Bulk also,  djinni.  Maggie Beer has a great pav type recipe with dried Figs.  Also use them in the Mustard Fruits recipe.  Posted. 
PS ,  love your Motto.   Is this the lady who wrote 'Diet For a Small Planet'?

Yes thank you I have both those recipes in my "to try" list which has grown to scary proportions :D
Thanks too for the comment about my signature. It is something I am very interested in.
I believe Francis Lappe who wrote Diet for a Small Planet is Anna Lappe's mother. Anna Lappe is an established author and speaker in her own right. You know of them? I have only come across them recently and I have ordered a couple of their books to read.

During my 'alternative' phase, I was very interested in the food combination theory put forward in this book.   The theory was that you had to eat the right combination of whole grains etc., in the one meal,to get maximum health benefits from what you were eating.  This has been proved now not to be true.  However I made meals such a Hunza pie,  based on this theory.  The family have NEVER let me forget this.  I still have a copy of 'Diet for a Small Planet' and gave each of my children a copy.  I don't think they have looked at it.  DIL thinks it a real hoot that I was a hippy, wore Kaftans and Indian Cotton shirts etc.   She sees me as ultra conservative,  if she only knew. ;D ;D ;D

I wanted to make this tonight for eating tomorrow, but I just read best made a month before. Has anyone tried making it then eating it after a few hours or overnight in the fridge?

It will be fine GHM....I would still pop it in the freezer, as its easier to cut it up from frozen....it softens quickly.
