Tips

This recipe will keep in the refrigerator for up to one month if you do not can it.

If using dried figs, remove and discard stems, then place in a large pot. Add enough water to cover figs by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let sit until softened, up to 4 hours. Use 1 cup of liquid from the pot instead of the water in the recipe for extra flavor.
