Story Tools
- 4 cups figs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
- Rinse figs and trim stem ends. Put into a heavy-bottomed saucepan with sugar, lemon slices and 1 cup water. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until a thick syrup forms (patience please, turn on a movie, it will be a good hour).
- Transfer hot figs to 2 sterilized 1 pint Mason-type jars, top with sterilized lids and seal in a hot water bath according to the jar manufacturer's directions. Cool and store in a dark place.
