I made these a few days ago and they are yummy. I am making another batch today experimenting with the adding ginger and will post about it soon on my blog. I am pleased to have found a use for the unripe figs from our tree.

Lulu, I’m glad to have discovered your fantastic blog, through a reader of my own (www.agardenerstable.com). Regarding the figs, do you know what variety you’ve used? Also, do you know if this method is typically used for a second crop that never properly ripens?

I make this as my husband loves it -but after a while the figs seem to go mouldy with white moss-why is this please.

I am big on baking and rarely make preserves but this recipe looks great. Out new house has three fig trees next door. The owner is never there and told us to take as many as we want as long as we can beat the birds to them. So I am now giving your recipe a try. I’m just onto my second boiling now so am eagerly waiting to try it tomorrow.

Re: fig latex
a little cooking oil is very good at getting latex off or dissolving organic glues. Works for some glues used for jar labels as well.

Jackie, I do remember them being pretty fragrant. Not unpleasant but not exactly fruity either. So I’m not sure what to tell you.
