It's really simple. Just remember 8/4/2
For every 8 cups of figs use 4 cups or sugar and 2 cups of water.
Cut stems, rinse and place 'em in a bucket or clean sink. Dust em with about 1 tbsp of baking soda and cover them with boiling water and let them soak for an hour or so. Drain and rinse with cold water.
4 cups sugar, 2 cups water, about half a lemon, sliced. Bring to a boil and "cook" for 10 minutes.
Add figs and cook to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally. I hit 'em with a tater masher about an hour in to bust them up.
Jar up and seal.
Note: we add spices. Play around with different spices and find a flavor you like.
