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.
