Ingredients
- one pound to each pound of figs
- two-thirds grown
- half way down
Directions
Materials : Green figs, one-half to two-thirds grown ; syrup, sugar, one pound to each pound of figs, using a little more wa- ter than usual, as the figs have no juice of their own. Make a cross-cut in each fig, from the top to about half way down. Place the cut figs in cold water, and let them soak for twelve hours or more. A small lump of quicklime may be added to the water. Drain the figs and parboil in fresh water until they can- be pierced with a straw. Drain again, and boil in the syrup until perfectly clear.
