Figs in syrup steps:

Figs in syrup ingredients:

  • 1kg of figs
  • 1 liter of water
  • 700 grams of sugar
  • 1/2 lemon peel

Figs in syrup steps:

1- Before preparing the recipe for figs in syrup, you must select these fruits very well. The ideal is to acquire ripe figs that are firm and whole since otherwise, they may not be useful for this preparation.

2- Once you have the right figs, extract the tails and wash them very well by placing them under cold tap water, draining them a little, and placing them in a fairly deep pot. Fill the pot with water until it covers all the figs completely and brings it to a boil over medium-high heat.

3- After a few minutes, you will see that the figs have released a kind of white sap, and a foamy layer has formed in the water. At this time, you must remove the pot from the heat, remove that whitish layer with the help of a slotted spoon, drain the figs and reserve them.

4- Now, place another fairly large pot on the fire and add the liter of water, the sugar, and the peel of half a lemon. Using a fork, prick each fig several times (4 or 5) and add them to the pot along with the rest of the ingredients. You should let everything cook over medium-high heat for at least 2 hours so that the figs are well impregnated and the syrup acquires the right consistency.
