Pickled Figs

Directions

Blanch figs 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat sugar and water and add vinegar and spices (either ground or whole).

Boil 5 minutes.

Remove spice bag.

Add figs and cook until the fruit can be pierced with a toothpick and until penetration of syrup is complete.

(This may take a half hour at a slow boil.) Fill sterilized jars and seal at once.
