This was a great recipe for preserving out massive quantities of ripe figs, and they turned out delicious! I had to cook the figs down for over two hours to achieve a thin syrup. I would have appreciated a bit of guidance on timing aspect.

I’ve made this a few times and everyone really likes it! I’ve found that 4 cups of halved figs makes about 3 cups of preserves.

About 5 cups of halved figs made 3 cups of preserves. Very good flavor though!

Thank you for this information. I like the looks of the recipe b/c I have been searching for one with less sugar. i wondered how long the syrup aspect might take!
