- 5. Pour into the bundt pan. Bake for one hour or until done.
- 6. For Sauce: Bring buttermilk, sugar and corn syrup to a boil, stirring constantly.

- 8. Pour sauce over cake while cake is still hot and in the bundt pan. Let soak overnight. Turn out onto serving plate the next day.
Tips:
- Choose ripe figs: Use ripe, plump figs for the best flavor and texture. Slightly underripe figs can also be used, but they will be less sweet.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help prevent the preserves from sticking and burning.
- Cook the preserves over low heat: Low heat will help the preserves thicken slowly and evenly.
- Stir the preserves frequently: Stir the preserves frequently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Test the preserves for doneness: The preserves are done when they have thickened and reached a jelly-like consistency. To test the preserves, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate. If the preserves wrinkle when you push your finger through them, they are done.
Conclusion:
Fig preserves are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, pancakes, and waffles. They can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and cookies. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own fig preserves at home.
