Fig Jam
Ingredients:
2 pounds green or purple figs, stemmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup water
Directions:
In a large, nonreactive saucepan, toss the fig pieces with the sugar and let stand, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the figs are juicy.
Add the lemon juice and water and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Simmer the fig jam over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is soft and the liquid runs off the side of a spoon in thick, heavy drops, about 20 minutes.
Spoon the jam into three 1/2-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch of space at the top. Close the jars and let cool to room temperature. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Variation: Substitute 1/2 cup of white port for the water and add one 4-inch sprig of rosemary with the lemon juice; discard the rosemary before jarring.
Makes three, 1/2 pint jars.

Just like to eat them.
you could send some this way 🙂
I love mine just as they´re grown , with some goat cheese and pieces of lavosh or pita drizzled with olive oil and rubbed with fresh oregano
Try soaking them in a decent brandy for a few days after poking holes with a needle to let it soak in really well.
Then glaze with a sugar cookie glaze that gets hard like rock candy.
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
Stir confectioners’ sugar, corn syrup, and water together.This glaze must be stirred each time you use it. If it is not stirred before each use it will dry with a mottled look instead of clear.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or a parve sorbet
Love fresh picked figs right off my tree.
