I'm not a big fan of figs- I prefer them in their dried form with no added sugar. So discovering yet another form of figs I can enjoy was a reason to celebrate for me, and I knew I had to share this joy with you. Are you bold enough for pickled figs?
Ingredients for pickled figs:
Method of preparing the pickled figs:
-
In a big pot, melt the sugar in the water and vinegar. Wash the figs and add them in.
-
Cook them on low flame for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, boil water in another large pot.
-
Remove the figs from the flame and transfer them into jars. Cover them in the sauce they were cooked in, leaving an inch of air.
-
Lid the jars and insert them into the boiling water for curing. Make sure they're fully submerged and let them sit and cook for 15 minutes.
-
Remove from heat and store in a cool, dark place. After 3 weeks time, your pickled figs should be ready.
