Fig Candy Preparation
Joanne Dean Figs have been much used in southern California since the mission period. This recipe calls for bringing the syrup to the hard crack stage (300-310o). Boil the sugar and water together without stirring (after the sugar dissolves) until it hardens and becomes brittle when dropped in cold water; then add the lemon juice. Wash and open the figs; lay them in a square, shallow pan, greased greased well with butter. Pour the sugar syrup over the figs. When nearly cold, mark out in narrow strips with a knife. by LSHW <shusky@erols.com> on Feb 09, 1998

my first fig candy experience
My fig trees have so much fruitthat I have been preparing fig jam out of the day’s harvest. Yesterday I thought of making Fig Candy. I altered the recipe shown above. No water, less sugar and substituted vanilla for the lemon (since I didn’t have any lemons in my fridge. used up by my fig jam cooking). Another thing, I put all ingredients and cooked. I cooked twice. First, just enough to get the sugar melted. I let sit overnight. Second cooking, bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until syrup has been reduced, not dry. I poured the mixture in a greased pan and let cool and set.
I turned each peice just to coat the pieces with the syrup (while still warm.
So….good.
