    Thanks Emeril - I've got a young tree that is spewing out 2 dozen figs every other day!

    Try 1/2 cup sugar, juice 1/2 lemon, fresh grated 3 tablespoons ginger
    to spice it up

    It's important to know that - according to the USDA - figs require citric acid to be preserved correctly and avoid the risk of contamination. When made with only 3/4c sugar to 1lb figs, this recipe was still to sweet for my family.

    I've gotten many compliments on this recipe. I would like a more earthy flavor. It is a bit sweet for my tastes. I will try some of the suggested alterations and see how they appeal.

    I pick my fig pretty ripe (almost like a raisin-amazing, so I added a 2/3 c of sugar since the figs start out super sweet. Added some cinnamon pear balsamic and WOW! I feel like this is a great base recipe or tweaking.

    this recipe is ok but you must remember to rinse the figs in warm water with baking soda for a few minutes to de fuzz them. also I cook my figs with the sugar and a tablespoon of whole cloves and thinly sliced lemons along with the fresh lemon juice to taste. this was my mother-in-laws recipe and we try to keep a jar in the frig. long after the figs are gone the syrup is still wonderful on toast.

    I took a chance and increased this recipe to five pounds of figs and five cups of sugar. It worked like a charm. I added a couple splashes of lemon juice to keep the nice color and I think it added to the flavor too. Delicious!

    THIS WAS SO GOOD - I WANTED TO SAVE IT TO MY RECIPE BOX BUT THERE WAS NO OPTION TO DO SO AND SINCE IT STATED IT WAS GOING TO BE SHOWN FOR JUST A SHORT WHILE, I'M DISAPPOINTED I HAD TO WRITE IT DOWN AND NOT SAVE IT ON LINE.
