Fig Syrup

This homemade fig syrup made from fresh figs is so good with pancakes, biscuits and waffles. Ces’t Bon!!

Make extra and can for later.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pureed figs
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup Karo or corn syrup
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Watkins butter flavorings

Directions

Step 1

The first step to making the syrup is to cook the figs. Biggest question is how much sugar to use. Here is a fairly good ratio: 1 part figs to 1/2 part sugar (volume/volume)

Step 2

Prepare and cook the figs until softened. The figs will release juices and combine with the sugar to make a syrup. Measure out the amount of figs needed and use the syrup to puree the figs.

Step 3

In a heavy pan place 1 cup pureed figs, 1 to 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1/4 cup Karo syrup. Bring to a full rolling boil and then boil for one more minute.

Step 4

Remove from heat and add the butter flavoring. Place in small canning jars and seal. Process in hot water bath for 15 minutes.
