This variety was found by Lee Ann (sacredorigin). This is what she wrote:

Edith's Raspberry Jam is a fig found in a very remote location of a historic pioneer and mining town. This is a fig that was loved by Edith Lamb as a seedling when she was growing up at around the turn of the 19th century. A cutting of the mother tree was grown over a memorial plaque that was put in her name near this old homestead in 1990's.

Originally called Edith Lamb fig, I had sent some cuttings to people around the country to trial. I've received a lot of great feedback on the Raspberry flavors and how jammy it is. So I decided to call it Edith's Raspberry Jam.
Dark purple almost Black fig with dark burgundy, and deep red jammy interior, very small and tight eye. Paper thin skin comes off with Black / purple ink on fingers. This fig will zing your taste buds and delight your senses with rich raspberry ( foreground) and strawberry (background) flavors. Ripens early to mid Aug in zone 9b. Has breba crop and prolific main crop.
