FIGS IN BRANDY
This recipe is from Saveur. Preserving figs in citric acid ( I used lemon juice) and brandy helps prevent the growth of microorganisms in the fruit and boiling the mixture in canning jars produces an airtight seal. If you have leftover fig syrup when you are finished canning, strain and refrigerate it to drizzle over ice cream or to stir into iced tea. This recipe using a boiling water bath for canning. There are many good instructional sites on Recipezaar if you are unfamiliar with this type of canning.
