No ratings yet

Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. one pound of sugar
  2. one pound of fruit
  3. Figs

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Take one pound of fruit, not over-ripe, one pound of sugar, and ginger-root to taste.
  2. Boil until clear and tender.
  3. Lift the figs separately from the syrup with a fork, and lay on dishes in hot sun.
  4. When dry enough to handle (two or three days), roll in sugar and pack dry in jars.
