To start off I like your shirt! I'm from Galliano, Mom would make figs but don't have the recipe, & yours look alot like hers. I love the thick syrup w/ them. On some homemade bread, man you know us cajuns! Thank's & will give it a try.

I always quarter my figs so they will cook a little easier to spread. Also add 1/2 cup of lemon juice to keep them bright. And yes, cook about 2 hours

Such a simple recipe with a lot of patience on top. Loved the red beans reference. You have to know when to take your time and every now and then pay attention to your pot. Just a perfect presentation for us Southern girls with parents "down the bayou".

How long were your jars in the oven and were they wet when you put them there?

[@junegibbs5823]

Why is a “dash” of lemon juice added to the figs?

[@flowerhour9539]

Mostly just for taste, it also kills germs.

[@gailwebb8156]

The reason I got you tub ,is to help the flavor and preserve the figs,I put up about 25 jars, and they put 1 teaspoon per pint and 1 tablespoon per quart of lemon juice,and I added ginger chunks while figs cooked and took them out before putting in jars.Because I was diabetic,I used Stevia,and the same amount of cups,but a tiny bit of pink Himalaya salt to kill that bitter taste of the stevia,and a dash of honey.

Why do you put lemon juice in figs what does that do?

[@marijoheitman2577]

Dear Sir, how long do you leave the jars in the oven @225?

[@remnantfewministriesminist495]

I love your passion and personality! I would have to substitute that sugar. Can I use stevia and honey? Also, can I use a pressure cooker? How long is total cooking time?

[@flowerhour9539]

I've read that the sugar is actually the preserver therefore u cannot substitute...

[@arieljoyfine8833]

I cut my figs into quarters because I have found a worm inside a fig, on occasion. So, "what's worse than finding a worm in your figs? Finding half a worm. LOL

We carefully rinse and inspect our figs before freezing them till we have enough to can
