FIG PRESERVES

    Fig Preserves

    2 pounds figs, unpeeled
    3 cups granulated sugar
    1 cup water
    8 thin lemon slices

    Rinse figs well in cool water. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Make a syrup by boiling the sugar and water together. When syrup is clear and slightly thick (about 10 or 15 minutes), add figs and sliced lemon. Bring back to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Seal in jars. This recipe is easily doubled.

    Yields 3 half pints.
